Agree. Ever have to stand waist deep in cow shit? I have. One of the things that encouraged me to go back to college. After the farm job I twisted wrenches for a living. Six day fifty hour weeks were the norm, the pay was meh, and I had over $8K of my own money invested in tools at the end.

Yes, this career has been awesome. Awesome, and fun. Non-stop learning the entire time.

Neither your point nor the parent's here make the case that being a developer is the 'easiest' job.
