If everyone in the job market would be paid the same salary.
What job you would've chosen which is not programming?

A woodwright that builds fine furniture and house trimmings(think of those large all wood studies or libraries with built-in shelves).

I love working with my hands and eyes, God knows if I'll be able to do it when I'm retired though. I'll probably be blind and plagued with Parkinson's or worse.

"What job you would've chosen which is not programming?"

.... i don't get the question. prograqmming IS the only job; everything else is just occupational therapy (:

@sariel hahaha

Wall painter

I'd probably still do it, because I'm pretty bad at most other things

Same job, I'm here for the fun of coding, though there are always bad times.

Are there any jobs that are actually easy?

Actually, one of those government jobs where screwing up earns you a promotion would be nice

I'd still do programming. I really love it and would like to make money just with learning more and toying around, like having a own software product that makes money ;-P

Pretty mich everything. Maybe work a the animal shelter or such.

@horus you traitor

@TheBeardedOne yes - the boring ones

I was a diesel tech before, albeit a shitty one. I would git gud and go back to it.

Addendum: Shitty as in "I did everything by the book and manuals" rather than "I remember everything and anything"

I needed my manuals.....
