copied!<h2>I do it for the ladies :D</h2> <p>Seriously though, for me</p> <h3>Pro's</h3> <ul> <li>Great challenge, every day really is a fresh challenge in some way, shape or form. Not many jobs can truly offer that.</li> <li>I like the way it makes me think.. I look at EVERYTHING more logically as my skills improve.. This helps with general living as well as programming.</li> <li>Money is/can be pretty good.</li> <li>Its a pretty portable trade.. With collaboration tech as it is, you can pretty much work anywhere in the world so long as you have an Internet connection.</li> <li>It's an exciting industry to work in, theres massive amounts of tech to work and play with!</li> </ul> <h3>Cons (some of these can easily be Pro's too)</h3> <ul> <li>There are a lot of people doing it <em>just</em> for the money. They have no love for the <strong>craft</strong> and just appear lazy, annoying and sometimes it can really grind my gears seeing an industry and workforce I enjoy so much being diluted with crap. Which can often reflect badly on all of us.</li> <li>Not so sure about the initial cost.. Yeah you can get started with Java or something at low cost, but for me, locally, the vast demand is for .NET developers, which can be costly getting up and running with. However, this is rapidly/has not becoming the case with the amount of work put in by MS with releasing pretty damn good Express editions of their main development product line.</li> <li>Its a lifelong career.. I truly feel you never really become a "master" by nature of the industry, you stop for 1-2 years. You're behind the times.. Some people do not like the pace.</li> <li>Some geeks can be hard to work with.. While I think the general geek movement is really changing for the better, you will <em>always</em> have the classic "I am more intelligent than you" geeks that can really just be a pain in the ass for all!</li> </ul>
