Perhaps while you are looking for a programming job, you could work on an open source project as a volunteer. Fix some bugs and start to build a "portfolio" of programming successes/examples that you can show to potential employers. No face to face interaction needed, just email. Might help you decide if you really like programming on your own.
I also agree that the advice to be a web developer is very poor for all the reasons listed above.
