Hi,
I agree, especially if you are going to transition from learning to program to
doing it as a job. Something like Visual Basic .Net, as far as I know, is
frowned on by corporate types as a serious language even though it interfaces
with .Net as something like C# does.

I suggest Python from
http://python.org
It has an English-like syntax so is closer to COBOL than a C-based
language with a lot of punctuation symbols. Your low vision will
probably help you manage the required indentation, also similar to
COBOL, which can be one of the most challenging aspects for blind
beginners of the language.
