Sometimes on Lemmy these seem like the only jobs that actually exist, but I’m sure there’s a lot of people here with different and unusual lines of work.

    I disagree, I’m an engineer and I prefer it over not engineering positions. My only ragret is not keeping up with coding since it was my favorite subject in college

      Do you feel like you could use coding in your daily business or is it just an interest you would like to pursue?

        Not that guy, but also a (not-software) engineer. Coding is really great for a few things:

        • Software stuff is in really vogue right now. Like there’s demand for all engineering disciplines in my area, but software guys are the hot position, with pay to match.
        • Even if you’re not software, knowing a little is helpful for other stuff - e.g., whipping up some quick and dirty test interfaces, or interacting with older systems with non
        • It also really, really helps for little things at home.

        Unfortunately I cannot actually write code to save my life, but it’d be real useful if I could!

      Maybe it’s my job, but I feel like I haven’t had a job in the last decade that I really enjoyed. I might just be getting older and jaded.
