There ae lots of charts of income possibilities online search for them. here is one www.salary-comparison-and-calculator.com/

You do not want to base your career solely on money, a job that you hate to even think about let alone go to is going to mess with your head and health.

Being rich does not equate to being happy, though I will admit that it could make it easier

I used to think computers were ok but lately I've been looking at courses and building my own computer. I started to think... WOW... you really can do alot of fun stuff with computers. I really would like to start a career in one. Would it be best to have a background in all sorts of programming? ex. java, c+++, ect... or specialize in just one? Ex. Java?

if your a high school student there are many choices at the local tech center that is free to students,

I think maybe the best and highest paid way to make money it to be a forum admistrator for one like like this one, you get to set back and let the money roll in. LOL

hard work and a lot of studying, having all the certs's you can get to have on your resume, and be good at what you do.

I see the upcomming field that may be best to shoot for right now would be with intranet security.

Im in grade 12, and im currently taking G12 Computer Science. Okay, we're only using VB6 and J++, but you learn alot of concepts behind programming. and that is the foundation you need in which to build from.
