Default How about buy a book on programming and do it for fun?

SParkes,

I am in a similiar situation with my job. I mostly don't like it, but I'm not sure what I want to do, but I want it to be something that I enjoy and can get excited about.

Programming seems like something you could dabble with in your spare time to "try it out". Maybe you could buy some used books on the cheap and learn enough about programming to write a game and see if you like it.

I agree that you might be better off keeping your current job, just to pay the bills until you figure out what you want to try next.

Hope this helps!
