I've been doing MIS-related work for six years now. I'm currently in the process of trying to transfer to our company's woodshop. Might actually learn some skills that produce something to hold and be proud of. Working with digital-virtual-whatever is too abstract and endlessly frustrating for this brain. A serious pay cut would be in the works, but at this point I don't care. Life's too short to spend it reacting to the latest, greatest releases from every software vendor on God's green earth.
Maybe. Maybe not. If you decide to go into custom cabinetry, or restoration of antiques -- something for the high-end market -- you might be pleasantly surprised.
To set Scripture on its head, "The rich you have always with you." While regular working stiffs may be reduced to eating government cheese, those who make and maintain the toys of the upper class will always be in demand.
