Great article and very much true! I did begin learning how to program when I was 12, but after about six or seven attempts over the years, decided it wasn't for me. I just couldn't stick with it.
Now as an eighteen year-old, programming is what I do for a living, and I love it! Instead of working at restaurants for ten dollars an hour like my friends, I make thirty-six an hour with just under a year of experience.
Ah hah, the first comic on the page http://i.imgur.com/zmhnE.png has happened to me -_-
No matter what though, it still is a lot better than sitting on the couch applying to clean the bathrooms in Walmart. At least I have my "In."
Looks pretty real to me...they didn't have cgi back in the 40's. However, if they could do that then why wouldn't they still be doing it now with better technology?

I love my job.
