That seems like a fairly negative view of the profession.  I'm a software developer, but I got into this field because I actually enjoy it.  I like making things (software) that are useful that people enjoy using.  It's also about solving problems, which can be fun.
I think I'd have a hard time doing something if I didn't really enjoy it, even if there was a lot of money in it.
