It's like solving puzzles for a living.

Sometimes it's a little frustrating but at the same time it's challenging. Some people say that you're only happy when you don't know you're being happy. If that's true then being a developer is fun but most of the time you're not aware of being entertained. It's a zen contemplative kind of happiness, not a "haha this is so fun" one.

There's also the people you'll work with. Most of the time is creative intelligent people so that's always rewarding. I wouldn't change my profession for any other.
