Wow man! I think you have a really bad attitude.

I am a programmer. I am not a software Engg. I am actually a Production Engg. However, I am a programmer. I'm a little bit older than you....27.

Let me tell you what I spend my days doing. I sit in a CCD (Cafe Coffe Day) with my best friend from 10:30 - 1 pm and code and work on making a beautiful product. Our product caters to the Indian market. We make a decent amount of money. Enough to allow me to buy my first house and go for vacations every few months.

My problem with your post is your attitude. India is an amazing country to me cause the market is so insanely large that if you capture a niche of a niche of a niche.... you can live a great life. In fact, I will argue, you can have a more beautiful life than you would in countries like the US etc. You will be able to delegate all boring aspects of your life (to maid and cooks and helpers and assistants who are all very cheap because labor is cheap) and just focus on what you want to do. That is the beauty of India. I could go on and on. But, let me assure you, that you are missing out if you think its a bad thing to be a skilled programmer in India.
