I'm debating whether or not I should get back into programming.

GET THERE!
i spend now a good deal of time/week using matlab.
i get data from here:
FRED
and then clean it up in Excel ---> csv
and then bring it into matlab and build a model. thats as much of the programming as i can do.
can you build something that goes to FRED, updates the csv file automatically??
anyways, my answer is don't get rusty programming b/c down the road it can't hurt and can help bigtime. i'd be working in citigroup's quantitative research division at this very moment (for 3 months already) if i could program.
