There are a lot of online classes these days, free and open to the public, where you could find out if programming is right for you. All it would take is a little time and you can do it from home rather than having to commit to going to class every week.
I like the software gig I’ve got but I’m working hard to try to become an author. I like writing fiction a lot more than writing test cases. But it pays less and is harder to break into so for now I’ll keep the day job :)
Thank you! I’m sure a lot has changed since coding PL1 on ancient Zenith computers. Lol!
I did download Alice onto my laptop for my 11 yr old a month ago, but we haven’t played with it yet.
