    Lmao, no.

    Go work a job in a different industry before thinking you have it so tough.

    Programmers make more money, have more vacation and free time, and consequently typically have stabler lives, than literally every single other professional industry.

      Also their careers grow faster and steadier even in a recession, changing jobs is easier and comes with a significant pay raise each time, and they mostly don’t have to deal with costumers.

        Thank god we don’t have to deal with costumers, imagine what outfit you’d have to wear to deal with them. And to make it work you’d probably have to wear make up too, it’d feel like halloween everyday.

        Nah, I took a pay cut at my new job from where I was laid off due to the recession.
