“Most good programmers do programming not because they expect to be paid or to be adored by the public, but because it's fun to program. » Spoken by Linus Torvalds, the chief architect of the Linux kernel, these words fill a computer programmer's mind with both the intent and reason why he chose this position. With the increase in the creation of computers and hardware products in the market, the need for computer programmers has increased significantly over the past couple of years. The primary task of a computer systems programmer is to upgrade old systems or design a new system to meet the needs of a business (“computer systems programmer/analyst”). They also write application programs to solve problems in businesses (Henderson, Harry). It is true that a computer programmer can be paid huge amounts of money, however, a real computer programmer would choose computer programming simply because "it's fun to program." In this impression, computer programming is one of the most favorable careers in the modern world today. However, some people do not view computer programming as a viable and interesting career. Some people view computer programming as frustrating because even the slightest mistake can cause major system malfunctions. Computer programming is a very detailed job and programmers must be available at any time of the day to solve business problems. Therefore, computer systems programmers have enormous loads of stress and responsibilities to shoulder. However, even with enormous stress, computer programmers feel honored and proud of their work. Computer programming is a very detailed and difficult job that no ordinary person can do. This is why computer programmers feel honored and these are the feelings... in the middle of a sheet of paper and in a comfortable office. Computer systems programmers also benefit from vacation time where they can spend this time with their family. Computer systems programmers also receive good compensation, averaging $80,000 per year. On the other hand, you could say that computer programmers don't exercise and just stare at the computer all day. However, this is untrue because many computer programmers can find time to exercise after work. Although computer systems programming may seem like a flawless career, it is not perfect and no career can be perfect. Anyway, as stated at the beginning, the main reason why one might choose computer systems programming is their love and passion for computer programming. A real computer programmer would not choose computer programming for its wealth but simply because it is fun..
