Looks like you have decided to jump into programming as career. Upside is fun, if you like it. Downside depends on your nature. If you are quick to think and think outside thebox with logical bent of mind, I think you should be good. Programming is like digital plumbing- one may end up using 3/7 screw when 4/9 is more suitable but the world does not care as long as the product is sturdy. Word of caution - some fields like medical appliance programming etc could be risky with so much scrutiny. Just my 2cents.
