Thank you for your concise and detailed explanation :)
My original interest in programming was to see if it was a viable career
path. As with many people I'm still at a point where i'm trying to
identify a "pathway" in life and detirmine what skills I'll need to
succeed, being able to program (even on a rudimentary level) would boost
my employability considerably.
I get the impression from your response to my question that you make a
living programming. What line of work are you in? How did you learn
programming? I'm considering taking an evening course to learn how to
program on a PC, what are the most economically viable languages
(c++...?) to learn?
P.S.--just wondering, what would an example of a "low level language be"
        Basic = High Level
        C++   = Mid  Level
        ???   = Low  Level
 after reading this over I wonder if I went overboard with
the questions.... :)
