I am currently working in intellectual property and it sucks major ass. Looking into going into tech for a 9-5 low stress job that won't make me want to kms; do those exist? Especially tech jobs slated for people with engineering degrees. Thanks!

    I'll look into project management...no idea what they do but what I've gandered it seems even more soul sucking than what I do now (patent examining). I actually looked into technical writing but it seems that it's also a pretty stressful job for less pay, so nah

      Idk anything about the field, but I know my partner's sister is a technical writer and makes like 120k working full remote 2 or 3 hours a day.

        I am on the clock for a job adjacent to technical writing and I am laying on my couch posting on Hexbear lol

        But tbf having a job where you do nothing is soul-crushing in its own way. I want to do something more productive for society. But as jobs go it's as easy as it gets. fyi @literal_moron (ps I believe u are an intelligent and thoughtful person!)

      I knew some guys a few years ago who took a "management information systems" program at a big party school. Basically they took a bunch of bullshit business school courses, like one programming and math class, and were set up to leap straight into middle management and make bank by telling people with actual skills what to do

      Company/organization needs a project done, they give you money and resources, and it's your job to see it thorough
