Programming is the one of the worst jobs

The New York Times published an article today that lists the worst jobs in the world. Not surprisingly, programming ranked extremely low on the list. Experts were asked why this was the case, and they detailed the answers that we already know. Programming is demeaning. It forces the user to think at the level of a mere machine and to abandon all free though in exchange for dull logic. Programming ranked only 5125 out of the 5130 occupations ranked.

...
5122: Gay porn fluffer
5123: Furry convention organizer
5124: Child porn star (as child)
5125: Programmer
5126: Toilet scrubber
5127: Australian janitor
5128: Text board administrator
5129: NYT reporter
5130: Ebola doctor

The ranking was determined by quality of life, questionnaires, sexual activity, mental health medication subscriptions, suicide rates, and occupational hazards.

Programming is a locksmith level job. Although I would consider electronics a worse job, but some manchildren just love tinkering with lego-like blocks.

Programming is no lego - you write your hello world from scratch.
