Here are some positions I know of... from my classmates who didn't enjoy programming:
1) Teaching
2) Sales
3) Call Centre support
5) Recruitment Agent
6) Priest/Clergy:D
I'm not a lawyer too.
FYI, there are different sets of Laws applying Hong Kong and Mainland China. Hong Kong law is kind of British common law system, while mainland China runs their own legal system (which is still confusing to me).
Also, there is *no law* that forces a Hong Kong company giving out personal information to any China governmental organisation. Yahoo Hong Kong won't get shutdown for not giving information to the Chinese government. However, I would bet that Yahoo China could be running out of business in such case.
What is even complicated (and people in Hong Kong complained), is that Yahoo HK is giving part of the personal information, where the HK government thinks it is not illegal to give out "partial personal information". (Which is the IP address in this case)
"IP address" is only "partial" since the Chinese government needs to check with the Chinese ISPs for where the exact location in order to arrest the journalist.
I have no hope in complaining what Yahoo Hong Kong did (as the HK Government already decided it's not illegal). I believe it's really a shame for them doing so (the shame for Hong Kong Government as well). Filing the law suit against the parent company is the right thing to do.
No matter how large the project you've handled, it is about meeting client expectations. Timeline is one.
If you still can't understanding, let me putting it more simple for you: It is not hard to develop a program. But it is hard to write a program meeting client expectations.
It is really a pity for you not to realise the root of the problems despite of the long years working in the industry.
I believe you really need to think carefully before you can post in this serious discussion.
Hi, I am looking for an MBA degree too. One of the aspects that MBA degree emphasize is the teaching of soft skills. How your school manage in teaching these soft skills, without face to face teaching?

Make up your mind, and read carefully.

It is hard because there are people still raising this question.
Software development is not hard at all. Writing a hello world program is very simple.
The hard part is to meet client satisfaction, given the intangible nature of software.
Requirements in business system change quickly too.
Hong Kong is pretty famous for its style of "R & D" -- "Repeat and Duplicate".
em..BTW.... I am working in Hong Kong on development side, rather than customisation.
