Well, you won't be happy in your job. Personally I don't feel spending your life in a job that isn't really "for" you is a nice way to spend most of the hours of day for most of your life...

Also, you'll be the first to be obsoleted, automated, replaced by a nice framework made by someone who had an itch to scratch at the other end of the world; you know, a weird guy with a calling ;-)

I do realize I'm lucky to do a job I still love, but my originally point is that perhaps we shoudn't 'force' people into a path they won't enjoy ; worse, you might make quite a few unhappy ones if some realize they aren't made for it after a while.

The "coding is easy, come and play" slogans we see around are false advertising.
