No. Although I would think lots of people in these parts are in IT. I've been doing cyber security research for a bit and I don't really like what I do.
Nope. But I like my paycheck and my situation is actually pretty good. So I deal.
I wish I could have that mindset.
Not a furry, am in IT though...it's complicated
My job has A LOT of idle time and I'm required to be in office. At the moment I'm making 56k and yeah if I made (shit even 100k) more money I'd probably not care that much but the commute + all the idle time kinda makes me hate it.
Which is unfortunate because the job itself I don't hate it's more of the environment. Honestly if this job was WFH even at my current salary that'd be pretty ideal to me.
I'm split on WFH. I currently do, but I don't have much to do, and have no idea what other members of my group work on. The office for the group I'm in is about 600 Mi away, so I've never actually met most of my coworkers, so no real networking opportunities. Its great being able to not get dressed, but some days I'd like a bit of random conversation.
I can see that, for me though I support an entirely remote infrastructure. People are generally in office (except for special people) but all their computing is virtualized. Adding insult to injury is the fact that when I do have to go to a physical location it's usually by my house. I have to go to the office to then turn around and go back home lol.
There are parts of my job that I like and parts that I dislike. I like working with my hands and solving problems, I like not dealing with customers. I like being in a union and all the benefits of that and when I become a journeyman I'll be making a little over 100k a year so the money will be good. I dislike the conditions sometimes, a week or so ago it was probably 30°F IN the building (New building, no heat, was 19°F outside), it also gets rather hot and humid in the summers here. The commute can be long depending on jobsite location. If the salary was 200K and if it wasn't hard to get into I think I'd like to work in a national park or animal sanctuary.
Grass is always greener and all that. I work an office/lab job. I wonder sometimes if I would have enjoyed working a trade. I think I could get behind parks or sanctuaries.
True! I feel like I wouldn't enjoy an office job that much honestly, but I have never worked so so I wouldn't know for sure. I definitely wouldn't say I dislike my job. I do enjoy it so far. Just certain aspects of it I don't care for lol
