Try crawling around in asbestos filled attics or rat infested crawl spaces for 12 bucks an hour.
Programming is much easier than so many professions I've had in the past it's absolutely unbelievable.
- callinyouin 11y agoI was a "pest control technician" (exterminator) before I started programming professionally, so I know how you feel. My life now is a cakewalk by comparison.
- bobwaycott 11y agoOh, man. At 16-17, I used to do that installing HVAC systems. At 21-22, I worked in a factory to support a family. Then I spent the next 3.5 years selling cars. Finally said, "Fuck this", and decided to start programming as work instead of just play. Even the worst days of the last 9 years have never been as hard as the best days before it.
