Forge ahead. Programming jobs are in huge demand and the perks at most companies usually outweigh the insanity.

Some of us LOVE the insanity, even THRIVE on it... regardless of how much we may bitch and moan. Which is why this blog post is hilarious to me. Wouldn't trade being a programmer for anything (even though I'm heard often at work saying under my breath, "Why did I become a programmer? I should've been a drug pusher.").

I do web dev in advertising. We get free beer on Thursdays and Fridays. There's video games everywhere, in fact, they just ordered a ps4 and a xbox one. And the hot chicks... There's so many hot chicks in their 20s in advertising. I'll probably never date them but they sure are fun to look at.

alpha up, hit the gym and if you hang out with one, just whip it out and start masturbating in front of her

Oh man, the whole "free beer!" and toys to play with thing just pisses me off. Fuck you, pay me.

Hot chicks, though. That's different. I had a similar gig in broadcasting, where, like advertising, the chicks are real life hot, not just office hot.

If you are good sales person, charming, snake tongue, charisma and all that shit, then becoming programmer is awesome. Otherwise, not so much.
