meh, the pay is good.
And yeah, being a programmer pays a fuckload. It is one of the reasons why a person should "become a programmer, motherfucker!"
It is something I once thought might ultimately be my career, but at the time that I was interested and learning how to be a programmer I hit a roadblock, and it was just really damn frustrating. (LOL, I think I was 8 years old.) After that whenever I happened to consider the possibility, I decided it was just not a thing I wanted to do.
Because if I become a programmer, I'm pretty sure I will never go outside again and I'm pretty sure I will interact with humans even less, which sounds GREAT to me, except that I know it is not actually good for my overall well-being. So damn.
However, I maintain an interest in the possibility of being a part of the gaming industry. How I envision this happening is that I would become a tester, and I would be totally content with that, and then it is possible that at some point someone would recognize that I also possess creative writing skills and am just REALLY DAMN GOOD at creative writing, and hire me as a video game writer. And if that thing happened, it would absolutely just MAKE MY LIFE. That is how much I would love to be a video game writer. If the company I was hired to be a video game writer for was Bioware, @*#$!!! I would be like 1000 times happier still.
