Enter politics, then. Easy hours, lots of expenses, few questions asked.
Project management? It's not for me.

That's the usual take on the subject. Our MPs, bless their cotton socks, were recently slammed for claiming heating on their second homes at our expense, a day or two after all the energy firms raised their tariffs by inflation-busting percentages. They have all gone very quiet. Dear little tikes.

There was a bit on the BBC news this morning about the PlebGate tedium, saying that it has "eroded public confidence in politicians" - I didn't know there ever was any public confidence in politicians!

What they do it for then?

They do it for the challenge, the success over almost insurmountable intellectual odds(generated by some users), and because it is more of a vocation than a job.
As Griff mentioned - the pay is not unimportant but it is not the reason for programming.

You won't get the big money thinking this way. If you enter an area, any area, just because of the money, you won't be good enough on that area to get the money.

Well, there are some that are crazy enough to do it..
Anyway, I love my profession, wish I could make more money out of it, still I stepped down (financially and nothing else) when changing jobs so I could work as a trainee and then become a programmer. I'm not making as much money as before, but I'm definitely happier.

Well, the personality changes are normally reversible, but the partial lobotomy generally isn't.

I guess "not publishing your login email" is a part of the "account is hard to hack" thing
