Computer programming careers...the continuous debate.

The original entry : Why a career in computer programming sucks [Don't let the title misguide you, though it appears as 'flame-bait', it has solid arguments]

Rebuttal responses to the original entry, also interesting : Response to comments on programming sucks

And a final entry, on the possibility of being a billionaire as a computer programmer vs. other professions, based on information from Forbes list of 400 richest americans : Who wants to be a billionaire?

Update : Posted a not so dire outlook on the same subject Computer programming careers II...survive and thrive

Update 2 : Found another interesting point of view(article) on the subject : Is Computer Science Dying?
