I'm in my second year of a computer science and engineering course, so I might be more in touch with the subject, (though Hrae and Belaslav are probably a lot cooler than me at it). I agree with you, I found the books to be a whole lot of mumbo jumbo, but once you get the basics right, any language will be easy. All you really need to be a programmer is a good sense of logic, and an understanding of the little nuances of the language on which you are working.

Once you've got that, moving to another language is very easy, since you only have to discover the differences in syntax and keywords. C is a good language to start with IMO since it is just easy enough to grasp as a beginner, but not too easy that moving to another language like Java will be too overwhelming.

I don't know about others, but I'm absolutely in love with programming. I get a nice sense of fulfillment when I successfully complete a program that does what it's supposed to do. So if you start to feel the same way, then don't hesitate to make a career out of it.
