If I were looking to make some money, and doing it by freelancing, I would spend this entire weekend learning to create macros with a macro tool you can probably find on this site.
Everybody and their brother is looking to automate things and if you can create (in the immortal words of Ron Popeil) set it and forget it programs to automate the laborious tasks people hate or can't do, you're golden.
I'm not a programmer (and I know others will disagree) but I don't think it's as difficult to learn it because you're learning to use a tool vs. a language. If you understand the mechanics behind it, that's half the battle. Once you master the tool, you can create, AND SELL, these mini-programs to people for $10-15 a pop all over here, DP...etc. and do pretty well for yourself. In addition you can create and use them for your own business.
Anyway, it's definitely not the easiest path but it's a longer term investment for income down the road too. My $.02.
