This was just something I was wondering for a while, I'm wondering of when you get into the business world programmers still feel the rush from being the challenge given to them. I'm still in college and I honestly love my major especially because of the rush I get from trying as hard as I can on something...overcoming it, then being able to brag to myself that I was able to do it.

Yes solving problems is always a great feeling. Periodically when I'm done, I see a better way. I don't go back and re-write it, because the code works and I have higher priorities. I just make a mental note and use the technique in future programs.
The best feeling are having the end-user say they like the process and see the process save the company millions of dollars. If the company that you work for is not competitive, you will not have a job very long.
When I work on a process that is 15 year old, I try to remember our programs and processes have to start somewhere. Before I cuss the programmer/program, I remember it was written at a time when DASD was more expensive and CPU's ran slower. Sometime in your career, I would expect you or your manager to say if it is not broke, don't change it. When we change a process, we have to regression test and become the new resident expert of a process (Assuming it is something that nobody realy wants to support.
Good luck with your studies and your career.

I think in general, most programmers are in the field because they enjoy it. And people in any field who enjoy what they do get a rush from a job well done. I think in addition, with programming, you're creating something so you have a bit of something that is your own to be proud of.

Yes however the quality of the rush and it's overall duration are inversely proportional to how much time was spent {debugging,overhauling design strategy,in meetings}.

It, depends on windows app. yes.......on web app. such as websites my clients don't rush me only on the windows app. I charge different flat rates not by hour to undercut other programmers
