I have two options now. Working in a simple not well paid job i am trained in or continue working in IT. I would leave coding and switching to Helpdesk in IT since I burned out as a programmer. I believe the tech industry propaganda brought me to programming so I left the simple job I’m thinking going back to again.

    To quote the great philosopher Homer Simpson: “Money can be used to buy goods and services”

    So depends what kind of simple you want. Money does solve many problems.

      I think that is really good advice. I liked coding, but I became more and more overwhelmed. So maybe it’s time for a break. And you’re right, I can go back. Thank you!

      I concur. It’s not worth it to burn out. Keep up your programming chops on the side and it you want to come back, you have a repo to show future employers.

    It’s not worth it if you can’t enjoy the extra pay. Put health first, career second.
