Yes. Programming is Life in itself, for me. Code is my breathe.

No, but it could be a work career. Personally I prefer to spend time doing other things too, like eating a nice meal, travelling, making love. Preferably all three together as it happens. Then there is extramural interests, hobbies, clubs, etc There is so much more to life than work.

That's kind of a stupid question. I guess it belongs in QA, then.... Programming is a viable career, for people who can do it. Some people do it for a while and move on, some people try and are useless at it, and some people do it their whole life. No different to a lot of other things, really. A quick look through the QA forum will tell you that there's a lot of incompetent people making money writing code, so I think there will always be jobs for people who can do it, and do it well. The question really is, are you one of those people, and, is it what you WANT to do ?

I think it's not that simple. There are two many variables and different objectives. I for example, see very little future on programming if one's trying to make big bucks. The way I see it, if someone wants to live in a luxurious standard, he will have to give programming up at some point in time, even if it's for something on the same industry like management areas. So I think it depends on the objective combined with many other variables (location, skills, competition, luck, etc) that says if programming should be one's career of choice.
