I'm not a programmer and I know nothing about programming but I am looking into it to decide if it's something I want to do. I hear visual basic is easy, but what can visual basic be used for? if I get good at it will my skills be sought after on the online market? I need to be able to pay my bills with whatever language I decide to have a crack at.
Thanks I appreciate it. ;)

VB.NET can be used for applications, ASP.NET, etc. It is also a way to start learning .NET, which is used by C# as well.

Getting money off programming is hard. Visual Basic and Python are more for people wanting to make solutions quickly, not to sell the final product. Web developers are normally quite popular, PHP is good for that (+ HTML and JS knowledge). C++ is powerful C# is a balance between power and ease (same with Java).
Its not "which language will give me the most money" its more "which language am I most comfortable with and also meets my needs". Every language can be profitable, but you may only be able to make profit off a few.

Please, write clearly with proper structure. Double spacing makes the text feel un-jointed, Capitalizing Every Word Means People Stop Before Every Word Sub-Consciously Which Is A Pain In The Backside, and use code tags! (The right most styling box).

From what I've seen, with .NET the difference between C# and VB is syntax, with the power coming from their use of the .NET library. I regularly see job ads for both languages.

BTW the more boring tasks normally get paid the most.

.NET languages are probably a good choice to look into... either VB.NET or C#.NET. When I was looking for a summer job I found a lot of ads wanting C#.NET or VB.NET experience. A lot more in those languages than Java or Python.
