How many hours a week should I spend learning?

as many as possible. I don't think you could spend too much time. even working on it on a daily basis for many years, I'm constantly learning.

Where the hell do I start?

really I have no idea, but I tend to suggest Java, since it's a good OOP language without tons of features. it would teach you the nuts and bolts of OOP without overcomplicating things (though now with Java 8 that might be a bit different). other possibilities include C#, C/C++, or Python.

That's what I heard from a friend of mine and it makes sense. Jobs don't want to train anymore, they basically want you to fix all their problems on the get go with little to no handholding

the thing with programming is that the difference between an experienced programmer and an inexperienced one is astronomical, so there tends to be WAY more senior positions than junior and intermediate. also there's little or no part-time work because programming is not really something you can do well unless you're devoting constant time to the same project.

the key challenge is always just how well what you write can scale. it's "easy" to write a small program that does something simple. it's very hard to write multiple large-scale programs that all interact with each other.
