Programming too takes its toll on the body over time (make sure you have a nice ergonomic setup). The relentless march of technology means that the length of a programmers career is shorter than many jobs, including plumbing. > A plumber also has travel costs, fuel, cost in lost time travelling, > covering free quotations etc. Consultants have travel costs, fuel and lost time in travelling too. Unless you never meet clients. Consultants have to provide free quotations too. There are the same costs for any independent business person. > I've seen quite a few people making these comparisons to manual labor jobs > and, in my opinion, they are completely irrelevant. There are fixed and variable costs in any profession. I'm not sure of the point of any comparison. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
