How long until you are competent?

Name: Anonymous 2013-01-05 3:12

I'm a high school senior who is very interested in programming as a backup option for if my acceptance to music school does not happen, or happens with too little scholarship money to afford it. I'm pretty big on math, and have done a bit of Learn Python The Hard Way. I guess my question is, with or without college, how long does it seem to take until most people are able to begin programming for money?

I know it's a lifelong-learning experience, but surely there has to be a point in which you can support yourself on your work.

Yes, sure is in the long haul. When the excitement wears of it's just code and if you wanna stay with it, it has to be something you'll naturally do without thought, or you'll be repulsed by it and go for management after a couple of years or something.
Also, not saging, because it's silly to sage.
