A bit over the top, but if you do not like programming, that will be your experience.
When I started out in this field, I actually took a pay cut. But I loved the job, I followed trends and educated myself and was luckily to work for good managers. And I am still doing the work and did all I can to avoid being a manager.
But about 25 or so years ago, I started seeing people getting into the field just for the pay and cared little for the work. This has been accelerating since.
Some were good, but many were rather bad in various degrees at the job, so others would have to step in to fix their work. But they were all good at marketing themselves and dotting the 'iS' and crossing the 'tS', so they were able to hang on until get they got into management, which may have been to be their main goal. In fact one I know was this way but ended up being a very good manager after a year or two of moving to that position.
I wonder if he was one of those and was not able to 'move up'. (even though he may be good at is work). I just put up with the BS at work so I can feed my 'habit', which in comparison makes the BS seem trivial.
