I "dropped out" of highschool so I could go to a night school (of the full dual seal, non-GED variety) and dual enroll for Unix/Windows Server 2003 IT degrees. I got so burned out by the calls from family, friends, friends of friends, and small companies that I crashed and burned hard with only a few credits left for the degrees. Burned out very hard. So hard that I intentionally derailed my own life and it took forever to get back on track with a new career.
As for programming, I only dabbled in ASM and C; never was great at it. Furthest I got were insult bots in C++ and hacks for late 90's/early 00's games.
Deepest respect for you having a career in that moron/SJW-infested field. I could have never done it.

LOL, it's not as bad as you think it is.
I had one guy under me who was a hard-core (((Mormon))). About as far-right as you can get. Dude LITERALLY believed he was a Jew.
5 feet away was another guy who was the biggest soy-fed faggot you've ever met.
Conversations in the office were hilarious, and I'd poke the bears often. But, we got along pretty OK.
I hear it can be pretty laid back and lucrative doing freelance programming, provided you can find well-paying, understanding, direct, and patient clients. I know one guy that made a fortune by programming frameworks. I suppose it really depends on your niche, clientele, and work environment.
You can't do freelance without a portfolio and it better be good because Rajesh and Shin Xua will code garbage for US minimum wage.
Things are easier now. C++ are dog Languages to learn.
Python and ruby are incredibly easier to learn and no longer a waste of time to learn as many companies use them.
And they learn to pay dirt languages php and c#
Not like it's difficult to learn new languages once you get the first one under your belt. Had a semester where I learned and programmed in 8 different languages.
Python has always seemed extremely useful, but Ruby has always looked like a dogshit retard language to me. Forgive me if I'm wrong, but it isn't it essentially a "drag and drop", object-oriented language?
Exactly.but the easiest Lang to learn. Easier than Python even.
