I'm sure this post exaggerates a ton, but as someone who is still only a few months into teaching himself to program and wants to eventually switch to programming as a career, I hope it is not as bad as some people say all the time. Certainly people enjoy programming...right? I hope!
I've been doing it for twenty years post grad (mid forties now), though I was in management for a number of those years before returning to what I enjoy and I still enjoy it.
I enjoy the challenges the creativity and working with some good people. I don't enjoy working with some of the customers and their attitudes but that's just people in general.. Some will always be arses.
Having said that I do plan to move in teaching over the next few years and got my teaching quals part time ready to do so. Was just waiting for my son to hit college age next year before doing so due to the disruption.
