Why do you want to learn programming in the first place? Why not make money with something else? Learning programming is hard work and takes a long time, even for those who love it.

I would recommend you look around for distance-learning courses on other skill sets that interest you more and doing those instead of trying to force your way into programming. Of course you can learn programming even if you don't enjoy it at all, but I think the only way to be really good at anything is to love doing it enough to put in your 10,000 hours...
