You can make most things in Java. Lots of jobs in it.

My skype is obscurecoding. I accidentally removed it from my sig when changing the pic, gonna put it back now.
Personally while I'm programming I just stay really positive. Also, if you get bombed out because something doesn't isn't working the way you want it to, take a break and come back to it later. It will help you stay focused and you won't get tired of it too quickly.
We recommend you take the time to read the HF Help Documents section. The answer to your questions should be contained in there.
Find some cool fun projects to work at, the best way to keep learning is to engage yourself. No point learning if thats all you do. No one likes to sit in a classroom at school while the teacher talks, you want to do things.

So set goals, and projects and work at them, start easy and then think of something that you could do, but haven't learnt, find a way to code it, make it, run it, if it works, look through your code, and learn how to make it better, make the shortest and most efficient code and then move on.

You just have to keep challenging yourself and it will help to stay motivated.

Ok, I sometimes feel very tired on programming but I still want to keep it up but then i mostly dont understand what I should do.
I have the same situation I love programming, but always distracted to gaming and watching movies. What I would suggest is make a time period when you are in the mood of doing work, at that time shutoff everything except text editor and internet. For me this time period is early morning when no one is online ;)

Listen to some music and quit skype/steam. Also be sure to take breaks regularly.
