@poster, if you have no passion for programming, why ask of it? If you have your mind on networking, then start taking courses in networking instead; switch degrees or something.

^^^^^^ Your perfect at talking nonsence. All that you've said up there what help those it give to the guy.

@Oraclefemi

You need to find out what you enjoying doing, it might even have nothing to do with technology. When you find it set your heart to it, money would come. But if money is your motive for doing anything, in the long run u'd be so bored of doing the job you'd even want to leave b4 the money comes. So you see its futile running around for money, let the money come to you.

If you don't like programming don't even think about going into it
