The sad thing is, I used to love programming. It always felt like a big challenge, like people were depending on me, and not like a job at all. That's all come crashing down with this job I think due to:
a) The job got easier, still hard/tedious, but there's no doubt in my mind I can do it
b) My job now just sucks, it's maintaining an old, horribly written, truly god-awful app written by someone who was obviously an idiot AND didn't give a crap
c) I seem to get bored with stuff every 5 years
d) poker came along.

So the moral is, stay in school, get a skill, do something you love, and it won't suck for at least 5 years.
