makes it all worth while doesn't it

all the hard work you put in at school to get good grades to go to university because you didn't want to end up pushing a brush for the rest of your life

all the years of university education to achieve a degree that showed that you now knew your subject and were prepared to work hard to achieve things

only to finally enter a career where the term "techy" is an insult, your opinion is ignored by your non "techy" management, you are scrapped at 40 if you are lucky and you are pretty much guaranteed to earn less than a plumber
