what's the career path for someone who went into tech because it was a thing they've always enjoyed and now it paid the bills too - but now they don't enjoy it anymore?

what's the career path for someone who went into tech because it was a thing they've always enjoyed and now it paid the bills too - but now they don't enjoy it anymore? is it still to open a bar to serve a clientele of other burned out tech workers?

@q3k sheep farm, from what I heard

@q3k Running a bar (pub?) is very hard work. I've learned a lot about it because of a program I wrote to help running them. Edge cases upon edge cases. And in the morning you have to clean up after the customers who wrecked the place. But I know a lawyer who works behind the bar once a week. For fun. This looks like a good work-life balance.
@Szescstopni Btw, some people can find it easier to clean up after the unruly customers in the evenings rather than mornings.
-
@q3k considering how much of a shithead the guy who famously opened a bar to do this is today, i'm not sure that's an improvement for anybody other than you
@whitequark @q3k + 1 for not targeting tech workers as a demographic, interacting with the whole population and/or all neurodivergent people brings way more humanly speaking as an interaction

@Szescstopni Not advice, just a reminder that "DSPD" is a thing. People genuinely have different preferred diurnal activity maximums.

@q3k if you also offer some accomodations you are sure to be visited mostly by former colleagues

@q3k Very good question, I have yet to find the answer
The follow up question is whether it is tech in general or just the management decisions of certain companies.

@jn@boopsnoot.de @q3k@hackerspace.pl do you think they'd hire me without knowing the language? maybe there's still hope for me in this country

@q3k my friend (not from it) has been considering using her savings to invest in an electrolysis machine and course/certificate to provide affordable care for trans ppl, we need more of that rather than ai slop

@q3k The customer I am doing the project for once mistakenly sent me an invitation for advanced forklift training. I've answered them, that I do not have basic training yet, but I'd be glad to get it.
To this day I regret they had not followed with an invitation for the basic training.

@q3k locally I can report that "library assistant" seems to spark great joy.
