Funny enough i switched from being an electrician to doing IT a few years ago.
I’m making a ton more money and I’m inside all day. Which is nice today because it’s 25°F and windy as shit here today. Its less nice when it’s 70°F and sunny though.
I’m in cybersecurity and being a heat pump technician is starting to sound very appealing. Can’t seem to convince my younger brother tho. Guess we all gotta make our mistakes before we can learn.
Do it, I left IT to become a chef. The pay is less but I feel so much better about my job. Theres a huge difference doing something that actually benefits people (making good food for people was my path, it doesn’t have to be cooking specifically) rather than slaving away for a corporation’s benefit. It’s awesome when you go out and see people enjoying what you did
Man, I recently quit IT and went back to school and became an electrician. Couldn’t be any happier rn

It might be because our country needs electricians at the moment hence that’s why the pay is higher atm

I consider leaving cyber and becoming a barista on a daily basis

YES! This perfectly describes my current feeling about my job!
My CISO has been trying to recruit me for year to his department, but I haven’t got the mental health to spare for the cybers.
Combine your current skill set with HVAC and you can make big money in data centers i have been told.
Tell him no one is hiring and security is saturated.
