As a computer programmer myself, I often see this said. Wanted to share this article with the BBS as I know a lot of the guys on here are ex miners / manual labourers (nothing against that by the way, just trying to open some eyes) http://stilldrinking.org/programming-sucks
My eyes are now hurting and I did not even finish reading it all, but I reckon the point of it is that everyone reckons their job is the hardest/ most stressfull there is !
Aye, I recon so, there have been many a time where I have programmed for 40+ hours straight to meet a deadline for a project (without food (caffeine is a great friend)). Everything always seems to break at the last minute when you need it to work I appreciate that all jobs are difficult, shame really
