The money is comparable (com-prah-ble), the actual normal work week is non-existent. I pretty much get to make my own hours, show up at my desk when I want but it is the same "until the job is done" mentality that has me working 60/70+ hours some weeks.
I started out programming when I first touched a computer, but have always been very visual as well which seemed to be an odd mix to everyone I met, and figured a good mesh would be someone who could do both well with a computer ... now I rarely do either go figure, heh.
It's a weird shift, the more I program the more I want to get into design; the more I design, the more I just want to do back-end programming.
I really took a particular (and I imagine particularly famous) Robert Heinlein's line(s) from "Nowhere to Love" to heart when I was young (there's a pun there somewhere), and try to fill my life with as many activities and interests as I possibly can:
A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects.

Plus, I know how asinine it is when "suits" chime in with ridiculous statements to programmers and the creative bunch ... and it gives me a good footing when those ridiculous statements come from someone like me who can at least empathize with them beforehand, haha.And I like everyone here.
And trying to make people laugh, haha.
