    Because it takes a special kind of person to stand in one place for 8-12 hours repeating the same repetitive motion every day for years. I don’t have the patience for that shit

      You are fortunate to be in a position where you have a diversity of employment options. Remember this.

        Interesting response. I got my CompTIA A+ cert so I could have more options, and applied at over 150 jobs before I got an interview. I’m very aware of how fortunate I am, but it wasn’t like I just walked away from factory work easily. I worked in five different factories before I got into tech, and I’m making less than I was before. But my skills are better in other fields for sure
