If you like to talk to people, you could do tech support while learning to code. That's roughly what I did, and is a quite common path into programming jobs.

It's uncommon that tech support jobs are actually advertised on job boards. Look for companies that are hiring anyone at all, then send them your resume for whatever job you'd like to have.

Heh, I don't like to talk to people, actually. One thing I do like about my job is that I get to sit in my cube all day with headphones on and only have to interact by email or IM.
