How many people learn a language and don't pursue a career programming/teaching?

No, I read the entire thing, a few times.

It's mislabeled. Poll fail. Topic fail. j00 suX0rz. End of list.

Well you see, I had this brilliant idea, to ask if anyone knew someone who learned to program, and didn't ever do anything with it.

Then I found this cool looking manage topic poll button, long story short...

This thread is the result of my failure in implementation.
Sorry

Admitting your problem is the first step.

"Fixed" but this thread's title still sucks. It's like he merged two topics and then threw up on it all.

Technically VB3, but at the time I had no idea it was programming (I was too young at the time, being only 7, and having not really heard of the idea). The first one I really learned as a programming language while knowing so would be PHP, so that's what I voted.

But the topic's question isn't what was your first programming language. The question was how many people learn a language and never pursue a career with it...
That's why this thread fails... The poll asks one thing and the actual thread asks another <_<

Shane~
