People don’t want help, they want you to fix it.

Studied computers since I was 11, worked IT for 6 months when I turned 19. Now I hate technology and do exclusively handtool woodwork now.
The pipeline is real
As a 20 year IT veteran, first help desk, then sysadmin and now R&D, I am jealous. By the end of this year my cost of living will decrease significantly and I’m contemplating taking the financial hit for a career change.
a combination of high tech and low tech is the ideal IMO, like being a farmer who uses manual/animal-pulled machines made using modern design and tooling, and gps on their phone in the pocket to stay on course, with a USB fan attached to the underside of the hat
The blacksmiths who forged the blades I use had state of the art microscopes to analyze the steel structure of their blades. So my tools are high tech in a way.
