I've always told myself I wanted to be some kind of programmer/game developer when I'm older. I have lots of spare time and I just can't get myself to even get into learning a language. I spent the last couple days understanding the very basics of Java and already feel like it isn't the language I want to learn as I don't even know what I'd wanna make in Java. A couple hours ago I remembered about Garry's Mod and now just want to learn Lua. I find myself always jumping to learn different languages and the cycle keeps repeating. Is it just not the career I want? I'm all into technology, maybe it's just I cannot be self-taught with coding and that maybe once I'm in college I'd actually learn. Does anyone else have this happening?

I think whats drawing you to learn the languages is what you can do with them but you're not learning enough to do what you want. For instance you want to learn Lua to make Garrysmod content but you are going to start Lua and quit after a bit because you are bored by learning and cant instantly create the content. Another example would be learning java to make Android applications but quitting while learning the language and never creating the apps. I think you should try to force your self to learn a language until you are able to create what draws you to the language then you will be able to see if coding is for you. If coding is not your thing don't make a career out of something that you don't enjoy. I hope you understand what I'm trying to say. :P
