The problem these days is we spend more time fixing sh!t that’s broke on our computers than actually using them productively.
I’ve been running a computer business for almost 30 years and I swear it’s come down to this...
I’d rather have a hot dog stand. I’d be happier and certainly less stressed!

Brother, I hear you. I haven't done IT since 2001. At least a 'salaried' position. I've been a cook, mechanic, airplane detailer, painter, housekeeping in a hospital (that was a sobering experience) and several other things since then. Survival skills, baby!
I've never been happier. My rant was as a user this time. A user who knows the crap behind the scenes is more dissatisfied than a user who knows no better, no? Nice to see your post.
You knees would be shot, though. ;)
I moved from engineering to the restaurant and loved it. Specs were clear, once you locked the kitchen door for the night, you were DONE, and no-one would call at 2am and say the accounting server is down.
Can't stand on concrete for hours anymore like the young men can, though.

A few times over the years I had seriously entertained other careers such as working in a dog kennel or oil change monkey.
