Wait, my job is not cushy. I think hard all day long, I endure levels of frustration that would cripple most, and I do it because I have no choice, I must build the thing I see or be tormented by its possibility. Cushy? Right.
How is that 1st world, there are plenty of people that "think hard" and deal with really hard problems in the "3rd World"
Give compiler engineering for medical devices a whirl for 14 hours a day for a month or so and let me know if you think it's "cushy". Not everything is making apps and games, sometimes your mistakes can mean life or death. Lots of SWE isn't cushy at all, or necessarily well paid.
Go get a bachelors and masters in EE while being eating just two bowls of rice and lentils everyday for 5 years and let me know if that's cushy.
