Is programming right for me?

So /prog/riders, I have a question for you. I am relatively inexperienced with programming, having only learned some Ruby (I know you guys dislike it, but it was rather easy to pick up), and only made simple programs like text-based games and 1 2D isometric RPG (though I never finished it due to laziness). It was really unoptimized and sloppily coded, with a million conditional branches everywhere and so many goto statements.

However, the whole time, although it was fun seeing the (mediocre) fruits of my labor, it did seem rather boring and sometimes stressed me out. Keep in mind I was only messing around with Ruby for fun, not in a class or something. Would taking some programming classes be any different?

I had some fun with it, but it was also irritating at times. I'm thinking that perhaps taking some classes and learning more about it would make it more enjoyable for me, even if I have an unrelated career (I'm planning on becoming a sysadmin).
