Title: Not a lot of time to spare

Ok.

If somehow had between 1-5 hours to spend a day, 3-5 days a week....

1) What pool should they join

2) How many BTC would they be making on average. Daily, Weekly, Monthly, whatever.

3) If they already know quite a bit about coding, how would they get started learning how to mine.

1. with only a couple of hours a day, a PPS pool would make sense
2. without knowing the hashrate there's no way to tell
3. no need to know anything about coding, not much to learn, join a pool (and pretty much every pool has some instructions how to mine), grab a miner and start it

Hey guys, I want to mine on my work computer at my part-time job. How do I do that?  ::)

I agree with 1 and 2, and for 3 you just need to check out Ozcoin (pool), and CGMiner (miner software).
