I don't know how old you are. 20's or 30's?
I am telling you now, get a degree in something IT related. ECPI or schools like that can get you a degree in under 3 years. Software and technology aren't going to go away. Don't bother listening to the "jobs are going overseas". Software has been continuously a growth job market since the eighties. Think about that. You would have thought, it's going to plateau in 90s, or plateau in the 2000s. It's half way through 2010 and software developer need is still on the increase such that companies look outside of the US for programmers, and not because they are cheaper, but because they need the brain power.
You get into it now and graduate before 2019, there will be jobs for you. And those jobs are going to be there in 2020, 2025, 2030 and so on. It is constantly growing and evolving. From a programmer's point of view, the growth is good. You get paid more for your skills. The evolution part is not so great if you don't like change. Programming languages have changed and are always adding new features and stuff. Programming tools are also changing as needs change. You have to regularly get training as software and tools change.
