"I'm a programmer -- or at least, of all the things I've done in my life, that's the one I've been paid the most money for." Nice. Pretty much how I see myself

"I'm a programmer -- or at least, of all the things I've done in my life, that's the one I've been paid the most money for." Nice. Pretty much how I see myself. Also, FYI. After many years in the industry I realised I was stagnating so I decided that something needed to change. After a lot of thinking I managed to negotiate a 4 day week with my employer. I wanted an extra day to work on other projects and to learn new things. Eventually I signed up for Uni and am now working on a masters part time. I'm thinking about pushing for a 3 day week next semester. Just remember that anyone can do this. If you are a good worker most employers will do what they can to keep you around. More often than not, you can do in 4 days what 2 juniors can just manage in 5 (you may not realise this, I didn't).
