I'm pretty confident that I am an average programmer. The operating systems class I took in college went almost entirely over my head. I'm pretty sure I got a C- or a D as my final grade and that was only because I ended up in a group that had a few people better than I was. I got C's in a lot of the higher level classes that I took. The root cause of this, I think, is that I just don't like programming that much. I'm a smart person and I think I could be an above average programmer if I applied myself but I just don't care enough to do so. There are other things that I enjoy more that I want to spend my time and effort on. I thought that this would be a problem when I graduated but it turns out that the world needs average programmers. My current project at work is a Windows Forms app written in C# to pull data out of a database and plug it into a Word template to generate a Word document. It's not glamorous and it's not trendy but it needs to be done by someone. Pay me a decent salary, give me good insurance, and I'll gladly clock 40 hours a week writing CRUD apps because it beats manual labor, retail, or going back to school.
