Programming comes with a lot of money, we all love money. There is a wide variety of jobs available for programmers. Programming can be a way for you to clear your mind and "leave the world" for some alone time. Programming also means opportunities for new friends and groups. Collaboration is a big thing within the programming scene due to either you need to seperate the workload, or you might just not know a specific thing. All of those little bits come together to create one big final thing.
