What should I start with? If you want an easy language, choose QBASIC, it does exactly what you deserve to be able do for the effort you want to put in it: almost nothing, you might if you are lucky be able to writte a book on QBASIC for monkeys like you who want money without effort != programming (!= stands for not equal in C). My friendliest advice is get to work on VB, Perl, Java(it is easier to C/C++ almost as powerful, but still easy), C++, C, ASM and then you will get a bunch of cash by trying to choose and love a language (Not VB, no offence, but u dont want to carry OCXs around). (The normal way is love a language and then since you are good, you get lots of cash, but it might work the other way around who knows)
