But just because you hate your job is no reason to damn an entire profession.
I agree, I wrote this to just to show that there are still people who enjoy their work and think that it is a great profession.
As the author of this post, I can tell you that many of the things I do day to day are not mentally challenging, but are still fun. Have you ever played any games in your life? Are they still fun when they aren't mentally challenging? Of course. If you enjoy something, then it will be fun whenever you do it. Not just cool problems or challenging ones, but all problems. The only part of my job that isn't fun is going to pointless meetings..but that is a crappy part of most corporate jobs.
This is a dream come true. Where do I sign up?
This is very old news (at least a year or two). This is such common practice that there is a nickname for it. It is called the double Irish http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double_Irish_arrangement
