Hello! My name is Paul, and I am new to MSDN and programming in general. I've made a few basic applications with VB.NET but that was a while ago. I'm currently 13 years old, and am going into the grade 8. By this point in my life, I've considered numerous jobs that I would want to have when I get older. When I was 5, I wanted to be a writer... Now, I really want to write programs! I enjoy it so much, writing code is my dream. I know what you may be thinking, but I've thought about this a lot and have decided that's exactly what I want to do. I may not start out that way, but maybe later on, when I'm like in my mid-twenties - I'm getting off topic. Sorry. Anyways, I need advice about how to go about getting a job in Software Development. Obviously, I'm not looking for a job now, but what I need is to know the skills required, and the steps I should take to be working for some corporation (like Microsoft). I know, this isn't written very well, so if you have questions please don't hesitate to post them below, or if you have advice that you would like to share I would be very grateful! Thanks for reading.

P.S. I wasn't totally sure where to post this.
