I just want to make little programs and maybe some games. Nothing really big. I've been wanting to do this for months now just didn't have enough time to learn.

Don't bother with programming. It's one of those skillsets that takes a bit of time to acquire and has no commercial value unless you want to be a programmer (no offense to programmers).

 Guess you aren't an engineer or a mathematician then, as programming knowledge, while not necessarily an everyday skill, is important for tools such as Matlab or even just outright needing a small program to solve a complex equation.

 I'd also suggest to you it is useful in a large number of IT related jobs which aren't pure programming (e.g. Sys Admin - small scripts to automate tedious tasks, Database Admin - small scripts and better understanding of SQL, System Analyst - being able to read code to understand how a system functions, etc...)
