I'm having a computer unrelated job right now, but I want to become a programmer, I have some objective-c and iOS knowledge, studying hard in my free time, etc. I'm looking into getting a junior iOS developer position.

It will probably pay half what I earn in my current job, and I am not sure if I will like that. But I am really tired of my job and want to get experience in this field.

Also, working as iOS developer is great position, since they are in great demand. My country is Russia.

What do you think? Or Should I just do it in my free time, get some programs out in Appstore and look for better position? What would you do?
