Programming. People treat it like a career, but fact is that unless your really good at it, your not going to make any money from it. I've found programming to be far more like art than work anyway.
That’s why I switched sides. From programming myself to developing functions and writing requirements which someone else can implement into code. :)
I could do some programming (did embedded C), but surely I wasn’t the very best in it. So now I’m the guy who defines what a small (but essential) part of SW has to do which will run in hopefully a few million cars in a couple of years. :) Much more fun (and money).
What's your job called? I'm nowhere near your field, and am curious about y'alls org charts.
Business analyst I guess.
