I do IT for a tech company… but I’ve worked in a pork processing plant and a box making factory before and the satisfaction I got from doing those jobs was pretty damn high in comparison. I make at least 6 times now what I made then.
It probably wouldn’t appeal to many people but I loved just doing routine things over and over all day long and getting really really good at them. At a certain point it’s just a flow and you’re free to daydream about whatever you want. Before you know it the day is over and you did a ton of shit and it feels good.
Fair enough. I actually want a job like that too eventually because my coding job is a nightmare of being around the worst people ever and trying to keep up with my much better teammates (who all hyper-optimized their life for a coding career, hence being the worst people ever) in the cutthroat environment
That being said, I never imagined it would be a job I like, just one I dislike less
i agree… i feel the same way except I’m not even a programmer so I just get shit on constantly on top of having to deal with insufferable personalities with massive god-complexes. i thought i wanted to get into programming when i took this job, and they made it sound like that would be a possibility, but it isn’t and i don’t want to now.

I’ve never done anything but retail and white collar but what was fun about those jobs? The work seems pretty monotonous and mindless
At least with retail I was working in a country with nicer people than america so the customers were generally kind
