I really do not want to become a programmer

As I've previously mentioned, I am a student of business informatics. As such, one of the many options for a future job would be to become a programmer. I definitely do not want that, I have just figured out.

PHPI am currently working as a research assistant and am heavily involved in a programming project, developing a php frontend for a java powered application. I've just spend the entire day + a large portion of the night debugging my code (as the underlying java layer had been heavily modified). I am seriously unnerved - and slightly drunk.

Honestly, I can't see myself do this for the rest of my life - especially not since ordinary software developers are rather badly paid. Programming can be fun and rewarding, but I'd prefer to keep it as a hobby, than do it for a living.

On a more positive note: I managed to modify the blogger template I use and am starting to warm up to this place. There really is a good chance that I will manage to keep blogging this time and not just let the blog die (as I did on 2 previous incarnations of this).

Anyway, off to bed I go!
