Does it ever hurt to gain a new skill? How about a marketable skill that also sharpens your logical reasoning abilities? Too good to be true, eh?

Yes. People who make their living programming have one of the highest paid, lowest stress jobs in the world--although it is not stress free.
I was a programmer for 10 years, and went to work straight out of high school. I was making six figures before I had finished my college degree.
Later on, when I decided to become a lawyer, people looked at me strangely and said--"But, you'll have to take a pay cut." Which was true, at least at first.
Computer programmers are problem solvers and the ability to think logically exercised on the job has been helpful solving many non-technical problems too.
Everyone who works with computers should learn at least the basics of programming--instead of having an advanced, futuristic typewrite on your desk, you will know how to make your computer your beech, and that makes you truly valuable to any employer.

Well its nice to know. If you know how to program C+, you'll fly right through calculus in college. It will also help your logic and increase your IQ.
