This is one of the few reasons I dislike living in the area I do, defense contractors are basically the only ones nearby hiring for engineering roles. Luckily I work remotely, but if that ever changed and I couldn't find another remote position, I'd probably have to move. I'm not about to sell my soul.
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?
I'll let you know when I find out.
(Guessing no)
I know which one it isn’t!
Or, and hear me out, get a job and suck at it.
Found the Boeing recruiter!
