I'd do software (or other engineering work) even if I was paid the same as a cashier. It's just enjoyable work. Horses for courses.

Agreed. I think we're a shrinking group though. Many got into this profession for high pay and easy work, which is understandable, but not that the shine has worn off they're regretting the choice. Those of us who enjoy the work will remain, but we shouldn't be glad to see the change.

I like software, just not in any capacity anyone would pay me to work
