First off all, I suck as webdesigner. I have been designing websites since I was 14, I sucked but knew c/perl so I could write a crappy guestbook/form. However I currently am active in the webdesigning/programming/hosting field.
1: When do you need to make money? Are you unemployed? If yes, you need money fast, learb HTML/php/css/js. If you are a student, party, learn as much as you can, remember that the 'trendy' languages are jus that, a trend, in 4 years they most likely won't be as popular as they are now.
2:Will you be working for yourself or for a company? If for a company, skip this point. If you create your own company, or freelance, what will be your market? The $12,34 websites (use php/mysql/access(hehe)) or the $30.000 website? (use jsp/asp/php/perl(?)/oracle). Also if you decide to be a lowcost webdesigner you'll need more customers, which means you have to be actively seeking new customers. A company willing to spend 30k on a website will be looking for webdesigners by themselves (just make sure you stand out from the crowd).
3:Ask yourself; do I really want this? If you want to be in the 'web business' you have to adapt to new technologies fast, is this what you want? I know a guy who was a webprogrammer who hated learning new technologies doomed to fail, but he had to learn the shit because a client thought it was 'hot', he now works as a c programmer and loves it.
BTW: 1 tip, adult websites: that will earn you some money...
I got introduced to computers when I was 4 or something. It's a good thing, I liked it and still do.
My father introduced me to Basic because he thought it might interrest me (this was later, not when I was 4..), he DID NOT introduce me because it would give me an 'edge' or whatever.
The only thing that's important to kids is to have fun, not to learn 'things about the computer'. Learning things about the world is more important than learning to program.
