A great Inforworld piece about the worst jobs in IT. Cage monkeys, COBOL heads, help desk goomers, and the like. Other than the programmer sides, I have done all of these.
Haha my first programming language was COBOL on IBM punch cards (1975) and I managed the install and admin of a 100+ node PC network hooked up to an AS/400 that took 5 miles of wire to connect in 1991 ;o) ... and "Real programmers do not use Pascal" so you might wanna scroogle that... Boycott google... use scroogle!!! http://www.scroogle.org
