The best bit is nobody understands!

Hmm. I think I was born (or at least picked it up at a young age and in most cases without reading instructions at all) with the ability to fix all of that and a lot more. Although we did not have much blinking washing machines in the 70s.

I know being a software developer is like a wrapping life around a Laptop, chair and a table.
No life, No Family...Just work and work for day and night.
But it is amazing feeling when I resolved hard problems and see my customers Happy.
and another thing is good pay

It is the major issue with 90% of Indian IT companies (Don't know much about work culture of companies in other part of the world). I faced the same situation for at least 2 years and now, All is well.
You should look for rest of the 10%

..."it's indoor work with no heavy lifting"
That's what sparked my initial interest, back in the early 70's!

I actually enjoyed heavy lifting.
As for programming. I enjoy the design aspect the most and the maintenance long hours and deadlines the least.

I'm with you on this one!
Except now I have to do some lifting to stay in shape...
Sitting down all day is actually pretty hard work and not healthy at all
