1.Fast Paced Career:
Programming languages, tools, books, and technologies are constantly being released. As a programmer you have to be comfortable with learning lots of new information quickly and competently. For example, in the last 2 Years, I have had to learn several new technologies including .NET Framework 1.1, .NET Framework 2.0 and SQL Server2003, 2005. Currently preparation for the release of .NET Framework 3.0 is under construction. Such pace of change can be disorienting, because it feels like when one technology is mastered, another new technology takes its place.

2.Hardcore Reading:
You have to read several books articles each year to keep up with new or upgraded computing technologies. The volume of reading material can feel overwhelming if you don’t have a good plan for staying ahead of your reading list.

3.Technology Driven:
Programming is driven by the latest or most popular technologies. Your career, office discussions and relationships may revolve around how much technology you know. Also, your career advancement may be determined by how technical or technology obsessed you are. If you are not passionate about technology at heart, you may become unhappy over the influence it exerts on your values, career and lifestyle.


4.Low Barrier to Entry:
Anyone who is interested in programming can learn programming. You are not required to have a college or computer science degree to get a job as a programmer. Especially Programmers of Database development can make a difference just by getting OCP Certification. You may compete for programming jobs with candidates that have fewer educational qualifications than you or with nationals from other countries or candidates with less industry experience. This can become a bigger issue as you get older and you realize that seniority counts for little in computer programming.(Its what usually practices in Industry But now Industry becomes quite mature so professional education for new recruits is basic for entrance into the Programming world.

5.Health Problems from Geek Lifestyle:
If you spend lots of sitting time and typing away on the computer or reading technical literature and doing code, your eyes, wrists and back may suffer. You risk experiencing carpal tunnel syndrome with your wrists, eye sight deterioration and increased weight issues from your sedentary lifestyle. If you become obsessed with technology or you become an internet junkie you may start losing sleep because you are always tinkering with code or surfing the web when you should be sleeping.
