I work in tech, i hate it. the idea of being in front of a computer, having to talk to indians and queers all day, having insane deadlines which no human could ever meet. all of it is just too much for me. i started my own consultancy business which is nice, but now my friend and i are thinking, why not create something more tangible? i've always wanted to do carpentry or mechanical work, something with my hands, something where sure, it'll be hard, but at least i'm not looking at the clock or my phone every 2 minutes, counting down the days until i can go do anything else. i even have the capital to do this, i have around 200,000 saved up, so i could feasibly leave my current situation and go do something else. the problem is in today's economy, it only takes one lock down, or shit mandate, and all my plans go crashing down. i simply hate that the tangible jobs(agriculture, masonry work, trades, etc) are devalued as worthless and the most useless sectors are the highest paying (insurance, finance, virtualized systems). it drives me nuts, because humans were never designed to be in front of a computer for so long.
