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.

      Ain’t that how all professional service are nowadays.

      Doctors is the last gig and it is getting gutted as we speak.

        Facts. I was talking to my doctor who is moving to Denver for another job soon. He was telling me how bad it was getting.

        The hospital+clinics are forcing them to spend less time with patients,overbooking their schedules, and ordering tests that aren’t medically necessary to get the most out of a patient.

        He’s leaving for a private practice job that’ll allow him to have more say so, it’s sad those who have been with him for the last 10+ years won’t benefit from him being around anymore.

      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?

        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.

      That’s why I went backwards from SE back to IT. I enjoy working with people directly and helping them. It’s also a hell of a lot easier in terms of hours and crunches (we have no crunches).

      Basically, I had to decide whether I wanted the money and “glamour” of working on a well-known hot project or to be generally happy with my life. I’m a lot happier now.
