Everyone "wants to make tons of money"...but realize that takes time and you have to be able to set yourself apart from your peers.

One reason I still love programming is I LOVE problem solving. Math was always my best subject in high school and college and I could have easily been a mathematician, but that isn't where my interest lied. Once I started programming, I knew that was it. You will always have new problems to solve and just when you feel you've gotten into a routine; you challenge yourself to learn a new language or learn the language you're working with better. So, if you like problem solving...i recommend programming.
