*This isn't a coding question but one about employment prospects*

Hello,

I've been learning C and most recently C++ for a couple of years. I'm working on OpenGL and Windows at the moment. I've been doing this in my spare time so my progress has been rather slow due to regular pauses brought on by work or other general stuff.

Anyway, I'd like to try and find myself a job using and developing what coding skills I have.

I'd just like to know what you all think about this. I would appreciate any advice, your own story or even just berate me for the late onset of my career decision.

I know its hard to be too specific without knowing my level of ability but do your best. Please?

All the best
