One of the reasons I began learning programming was because of the potential to create something. There are so many free/minimal-cost resources online to learn programming, start a project, and maintain it.
I don't really know what your time situation is like, but I would recommend starting a programming project you're interested in. Maybe find a group of people like you who have the same ideas who will help maintain it. Or, get involved with somebody else's team project.
While this is mainly for game dev, teamups.net/ is a good way to find projects to hop on.
I am a self-taught programmer, my first language is RPL.
I love to learn cool maths and facts about creation.
I am currently the tech leader for an open-source project

Best of luck,
Hey Ben, I started programming for a similar reason! Mostly I wanted to re-create what was in my math book, to be honest. xD
Also, thanks for the link! I'm looking to Game Development as a possible career, as I'm currently lead dev for the Qub3d Engine Project.
