How different is a software developer's life from a working professional in BPO, India ?

After choosing my favorite subject Physics for my Bachelors Degree, decided to pursue post graduation in Mass Communication, have just completed a year in BPO. Presently working for a Telephone and Broadband Service provider company, Tiscali based in UK. Also finished Core Java and is going to start with J2EE. Met a couple of friends in IT software development field, came to know about the work hours. A bit confused as which would be a better field in the long run.

I would go with what you know, physics and mass communication. They are radically different than software development and unless you are a hardcore programmer, there is limited success. Not everyone was born a programmer and why waste all that time you spent on the bachelors and such by doing an unrelated field?

Good luck in your journey
