A buddy of mine joined the navy in his 30s, and it allowed him to move into IT.

I've always had coworkers ditch IT and go into trades like electrician or welding. They seemed much happier.

I left IT and started doing concrete work. Manual labor is much more rewarding. But, I'm leaving this soon as well, I work with a bunch of right wing racist shitbags and it sucks.
