How are the job markets for programmers with these 5 languages? are there any better languages (job wise) that i should learn also? thank you.

I maintain mostly legacy COBOL/CICS code but I also have to do Visual Basic 6.0 on occasion and also maintain applications that involve lots of network interfacing with TCP/IP. I program in the zOS environment and Windows. We do not have strict job descriptions at work. Some days I feel more like a system admin than a computer programmer. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Let's say you want to be a programmer, and you never graduated college, but you studied C++, Javascript, Visual Basic, and SQL, through reading a lot of books, and practicing for a couple of years. Should you still find a job? Would an employer still take someone who's been through years of independent study as well as someone who came out with a bachelor's degree?

I am 24 and finally getting around to wanting to learn how to program .NET, C#, Visual Basic etc. I've been trying to look around at what type of Microsoft Certification try to shoot for. I tried looking in to this 4 years ago, and it seems the names have changed for all of the certifications. Could anyone lead me in the right direction on this? As a Bonus: What books would you recommend me getting to start learning C#? Thanks in advance.

To become a systems adminstrator you need a qualification like MSCE. Are there any professional qualifications that lead to a career in software engineering? I'm keen to learn C+ or visual basic, not sure which language is better though, from a career point of view? Do I need a degree in computing first before I can become a programmer?

Ok so I'm a pretty decent programmer. I know C and C++. I used to know Visual Basic a long time ago. I have no official experience though. I want to get a job as a programmer, but I've been looking on Monster.com and each one of them wants somebody with experience, without exception. Also, it seems like they want somebody familiar with ASP and .NET and I don't know much about that stuff. How can I get my foot in the door?

I know Visual Basic allows you to make software and other programs. I was wondering if you could make your own software like do it on your own spare time and learn it by yourself instead of wasting 4 years in a school to do it. I want to make my own software programs to earn my own money. Have my own business instead of having a boss.

I took a Programming Logic and Problem Solving class in college a couple years ago. My instructor approached me after class and told me I had talent for it, though I was stupid and neglected that. We were using Visual Basic for the entire length of the course. I enjoyed it, I was decent at it, and I want to teach myself something valuable while I spend the next four months of my life on a boat... What language should I study if I'm serious about becoming a freelance programmer?

I have almost completed one year of programming so far: SQL, COBOL, C#, Visual Basic (Full language of COBOL). My college teaches these because of the area I live in where they still have all old mainframe systems. It seems that networking security is much more beneficial anyways I don't know, i feel lost. I don't know very many people to talk to. I would really like to travel the world on business though.
