You seem to have found yourself (if such a thing is possible) and are happy with your place in the world. Yet you seem to be ranting to the point of being insecure about that place. jade88,

I'm the one responsible for how you say "relationships with people that can put it all together on a human level". I'm responsible for communicating with you. I get your attitude and bow down because you ARE smarter and I NEED you. However, its demeaning. I was not given your talents, I was given creative talents that often programmers think "how nice, another pretty picture - useless". I get to use my language skills to translate highly technical responses from you the programmer into simpleton lingo that anyone can understand. And because you get "technical" on every aspect, you poke holes in my every explanation - yet the end user is happy - which is MY goal. Funny world we work in. Yes, what I do is "work", hard work at that. Dealing with a logical thinker keeps my humility in check because I am not at your level. Trouble is, you haven't figured out that I don't want your job, I like mine because I get to build people up, not programs. And every once in a while, I get to point out one of your mistakes. But I don't put it in your face, instead, I nicely ask a question starting with Please and always ending in Thank You. You should try it some time!
