That's a difficult question to answer. On one hand, it's a cushy job. I work from home almost whenever need to. I can find remote work if that's not enough.

That's a difficult question to answer. On one hand, it's a cushy job. I work from home almost whenever need to. I can find remote work if that's not enough. I'm paid well. I get a decent vacation time. It's easier than physical labor. And I love to program. I enjoy solving problems and writing code to implement it. I even enjoy debugging and tracking down bugs. But at the same time, I haven't found working as a programmer to be very enjoyable. It's rare that my interests and my work tasks intersect, so most of the time I'm toiling away on projects I'm not really interested in, wishing I was working on whatever small project I've come up with at home. Also, as I've grown older I've become increasingly annoyed by the "culture" around programming and computers. TBH, I often wonder if I wouldn't be better off doing something else and just programming at home in my spare time.
