I highly believe that programming is the best profession. It's the future, and as Steve Jobs said "If you don't know how to write code, you'll be obsolete in the next 10 years". To add, programmers are getting paid a lot and they don't even need to work for a company since they can work at home and remotely. As a result, programmers have more time and they have more opportunities. For instance, if a programmer made an application and it blew up, and someone bought it at a high price, then that's it. The guy's rich. He can now invest that money gained into making a business and the like. They don't have to waste their time studying for 10 years to get rich. In the next paragraph, we'll compare programming to other high-paying professions. 

Professions such as doctors and lawyers are high paying as well but I just noticed that they are only successful when they're 40-50 years old since they have to study a lot. The point is, it's very easy to find a successful, highly paid programmer who's only in his 20s. In contrast, doctors and lawyers are only mostly successful when they're 40-50 yrs old and it's very hard to find a doctor or a lawyer who's highly paid and successful at 20. To conclude, learning programming takes a shorter time than other professions like doctor and lawyer. And programming is certainly more fun to do than those other boring professions.
