“Most good programmers program not because they expect to get paid or receive public adulation, 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 intent and the reason they chose the job. With the increase in the creation of computers and hardware products on the market, the need for computer programmers has increased significantly in the last couple of years. The main job of a computer systems programmer is to upgrade old systems or design a new system to meet a company's needs ("Computer Systems Programmer/Analysts"). They also write application programs to solve problems in businesses (Henderson, Harry). It is true that a computer programmer can receive large sums of money, however, a real computer programmer would choose programming simply because “it's fun to program”. In this impression, computer programming is now one of the most favorable careers in the modern world. However, some people do not consider computer programming to be a viable and worthwhile career. Some people find computer programming frustrating because the smallest mistake can cause serious system disturbances. Computer programming is a very detailed job and programmers must be available at any time of the day to solve companies' problems. Therefore, computer systems programmers have enormous loads of stress and responsibility to carry on their shoulders. However, even with enormous amounts of stress, computer programmers feel honored and take pride in their work. Computer programming is a very detailed and difficult job that no ordinary person can do. That's why computer programmers feel honored and it's these feelings... in the middle of paper... and in a comfortable office. Computer systems programmers can also take vacations off and spend time with family. Computer systems programmers also receive good compensation averaging $80,000 per year. On the other hand, you could say that computer systems programmers don't practice and just stare at the computer all day. However, this is false because many computer systems programmers manage to find time to practice after work. While computer systems programming may seem like a flawless career, it is not perfect, and no career can be perfect. Regardless of what is said at the beginning, the main reason why one might choose computer systems programming is their love and passion for computer programming. A true computer systems programmer would not choose programming for its richness but simply because it is fun.
