I really want to become a programmer, I do. But as of lately I have been doubting whether I really have the interest for it. I always feel excited about programming, it feels like a fun thing to do, but I just can't get into it. For the last 2 years I've been really trying to get into programming in C++. Yes, bad starter language, I know, but I've had some minor programming knowledge and I hoped it'd be good enough to get me into it. Anyway, I just can't get past all these goddamned console applications. I know I need to learn the basics, but these console applications demotivate me something so extreme. They're boring, unproductive and I just can't be creative because I know jackshit about programming.
So now I'm wondering, is programming what I really want to do? I read all about the programmers getting into it as fast as they started with the consoles, but I'm obviously not falling in love with it at first sight. Should I just start looking for something else to do with my life?
