Do your research and pick a language. I am trying to focus on web applications and backend API services so I have been working mainy with Ruby and Ruby on Rails. HTML/CSS will come easily over time. You want to get started learning the basics of Ruby like conditional statements, looping, using methods and classes.
A great place to start is learnrubythehardway.org, the shyt is free. My advice is just get started, it sucks in the beginning because you have to learn mundane things that seem confusing and you can't figure out what the purpose of it all is; but after a month or two things really start to pick up and you can build some cool shyt.
For example right now I am working on building a web app that keeps track of every negative tweet that is sent to @comcast and then every negative tweet that is sent to @twc. Every hour the app hits twitters api and stores these tweets in my DB. I am going to have a home page that has a graph representing the amount of tweets ppl send about hating either of those two companies and compare them.
This is a small pointless project but I enjoy doing it and it helps me learn.(Also fukk TWC and Comcast) Try to pick something that you are interested in and build a program about that.
Last week when Kanye was losing his mind on twitter I decided to make this: www.yetweets.us
Just pick a project and try to get started if you want any more advice hit me up

Juggling a bunch of different paths I could take.
Started to juggle with an electrician program, my cousin trying to hook me up with a job at CTA (Chicago transportation Association) and I've even thought about picking up my Sax which I haven't played since college and doing the musician at clubs thing....

How did you get in that? I thought about selling cars at one point but didn't know how to get into it.
4 Weeksand making 55K.
At least be realistic. Yea it is a great field to be in but you are not getting employed after putting in 4 weeks of work. Realistically if you are studying 8+ hours a day for 6 months you could probably land a job as a junior dev making between 45-50K if EVERYTHING goes right.
But once you get that first job and prove yourself as competent you are set
I am speaking as someone who got a Econ degree worked in finance and decided to switch up careers. I have been working at it for around 6 months now and just accepted my first dev job.
My oldest brother was the example was the example I was using. He thought himself java in 4 weeks, got a job through a college friend making 53k with 0 work experience.
But I agree that's the exception not the norm
And he was jobless out of prison so he had plenty of time to study.
Cool thing about car sales is that there's always a job available. Rarely do people stay in one place long in the auto business.
My first sales job was with a MINI dealer. I just answered an ad on the internet, interviewed, and they hired me on the spot. That's how it happens most of the time. Just present yourself as a people person, willing to learn, and broke. A sales manager will give you a shot.
Also, make sure to do your research. There's a lot of shytty places out there and the sales managers, being good salespeople themselves, will always try to make themselves look incredible and tell you that you can earn 100-150K like their top guy.
Of course you won't get into the best stores at first but try to find the best ones possible. Also find a brand and store that fits you. Me personally, I can't do big Chevy or Toyota stores. Too much going on, too many people.
