As a current tradesman who is regularly burned, electrocuted, and cut on the job while rolling around in filthy crawl spaces, dragging 100 lb of gear up a ladder onto scorching rooftops, or freezing inside walk in deep freezers… working in IT was way worse.
I would sooner stick my tongue in a 480V panel than have to go back to answering “printer don’t work” tickets.

God you make me so happy to have my work from home IT desk job. The secret is to get the hell out of help desk and into something more specialized/higher level. Glad you made peace with your circumstances though

I was actually tier 3 support. I just also happened to be the sole support for one specific area which meant even low level tickets from there got automatically directed to me.
Earlier hyperbole aside, I honestly fuckin love my job now. If I didn’t rely on having an income, I would still be doing this for free. But working a desk job drove me nuts. I’m sure it’s great for a lot of people but I just can’t do it.
