@Gavin nope basic Basic. The one before VB, before Windows, before QBasic, before DOS even. I started back in the stone age - 1987 😃

Answer 2

💻Started playing around with Visual Basic at age 12.💺 Dropped out of high school to go to college at age 16. 📝Went to college for some programming fundementals, ASP.NET 2.0 and C#. 🏢Got a job at a start up company around the age of 19 working with a group of programmers doing C#, ASP.NET, SQL to make a facebook like website for businesses. 💸CEO of the company screwed up the companies finances by spending more then the shareholders invested. 📉Company went under 2 years later. 🛂Then got a job working loss prevention at Lord & Taylor. ❓Completely forgot about programming💡 till last month (April 2017).

Answer 4

@Gavin Christians @AtK 🙏 Thank you guys! Your words mean a lot to me.
@⏩ The Coder ™️ I wish the best for you! Just keep at it! Once you've chosen a language to master (if you haven't already) I'd recommend to start creating a portfolio📂 of projects you've created for potential employers. This is what I plan to do as well since I'm in a similar job predicament.
