Same for me, except IT.

Its pretty much either work at The Base or Geek Squad. One of these options pays enough to leave the area.

Am getting a niche going for elderly centric IT help.

All we have is elderly here 🤷 take that over jarheads

Id take the jarheads tbh. They can usually follow instructions and admit it if they don't know what they're doing. Civil Engineers were always a fun tech support call, too.

Sounds like good honest work but i don't think id have the patience for it long term

Fair.

I'm not the smartest tech person. Don't really have a passion for it, but for whatever reason listening to an elderly prattle has never been draining. If I can turn airplane mode off for those fuckers and write them instructions on how to send an email I'll take that over actually working lol

Nothing wrong with that; Social engineering is what i would consider an essential skill for customer support, and it can take people far in the field of IT.

Does it pay enough to ever be free one day?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago

I'll let you know when I find out.

(Guessing no)
