What other profession would you compare developer to?

I dont know, what profession has massive amount of mental strain, thankless and with a good dose of suicide? ... oh yeah most public services people :/

Sometimes is like a massagist, with the client constantly like "its almost there, but not there exactly".

@Alice Clients always take for granted some extra features indeed.

A public servants prostitute with never ending fantasies about how they want it next.

Yup, this sums it up pretty well.

A sewer cleaner

We're always neck deep in shit

A chemist, bcz everyday is full with experiment or a miner, bcz we have to digg stckoverflow deeper if we had a bad situation. XD

Sometimes a doctor because you have people not fucking describing what the fuck is wrong with them, or in our case what the fuck they want on the project. And then later on complaining about how we didn't diagnose their fucking problem because of their lack of information in the first place.

A designer, musician, arquitect, etc.
Any creative work suffers similar stuff, the main difference is the type of creative work

@brano88 @Alice some prostitutes earn thousands per hour.
Do we earn that much?
