I think the single most definite thing to ask yourself is "do you like to learn."

By this simple question you will know if programming is right for you with a decent probability. If you do not like learning, then no, you probably will not like programming. Programming is 5% about writing code, 10% about designing how your code should work, and 85% about learning how to write better code and make better designs. (and that doesn't change! I've been programming for 8+ years and still am constantly learning!)

Now of course, you can like learning and not like programming, but since you like learning then try making some programs! You can't give up at the initial learning curve though, especially with so many easy languages now. So get out there and write some code!
