I'm in school to get the piece of paper that says I know programming so I can get a job

Same here homie! Cheers! ๐Ÿฅ‚

You might want to try taking part in some competitions/hackathons. I've been doing it in an attempt to put my free time to good use and it helps you gain industry connections. Plus you get to try out various fields of application so you find out what you'd potentially enjoy.

That's a great idea, I've got some hacker/programmer buddies who go to defcon and ziacon every year so I'm gonna try to go next year to make connections in the field too. Missed them this year and I was super upset, I've been wanting to hit defcon since I was a freshman in high-school, some decade and a half ago
