There are many reason why programming is a great career:
1. You get to create things
2. You make things that are useful to other people
3. It is fascinating to see the program you wrote execute as intended
4. There is always more to learn – you are never done
5. Short distance between idea and running program
6. Code is very expressive
There are also lots of jobs to chose from, and they pay relatively well, so if you don't like where you are: switch. There is no reason to stay in a boring job when there are many interesting ones to switch to.
