One thing that has not been mentioned yet in this thead (at least not so far 
as I've seen) is that if you want to be a programmer, you should have a 
degree, but not necessarily a CS degree.  I am currently a Math/Physics major
and I routinely (about five or six per year) get job offers looking for 
programmers.  This includes offers from game companies.  Apparently, a lot of
companies are looking for more than just CS majors.
