Why a career in computer programming sucksI am 53. I was the young hot-shot assembler/Fortran/C programmer. Also did the manager thing for 20 of those years along the way, but always kept programming. Then I had the bright idea that I could make 80-90% as much money just being a "Senior Programmer/Analyst" doing the fun stuff....programming, with only 30% of the headaches. So now I'm an "old" hot-shot C++(Unix)/C# .NET programmer. (I haven't stooped to Java, yet....we let our friends from other countries do that.) (to age bigots (Half Sigma), old does not mean COBOL and old does not mean "stuck") Meanwhile, this profession has afforded me the luxury of F-U money...I can retire any time I like. If tomorrow I decided I couldn't stand listening to my boss any more, I could just tell him "F-U", call it a career and go get an afternoon tee time. I'm not sure I would encourage any young person I know to go in this direction, A LOT has changed, but it's been a good ride. Joe
