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 mean, depending on what you do it's no worse than any other bullshit job. Like it doesn't have to be spamming people and shit. And we're already talking about jobs that aren't panopticon data harvesting- those are the aforementioned difficult ones.

    You could be fixing a website for a supplier of societally useful goods or services.

    • Making it less confusing to use
    • Making new pages that explain what the business sells.
    • Rewriting shitty copy.
    • Making sure that Google doesn't get blocked from reading the site, so that it will show up on Google.
    • organizing products into better categories so they arent all stacked into giant fuckoff pages, so people can find them

    Plus you can use those simple analytical skills if you ever create some kind of media in your personal life such as left politics or hobby stuff.

      Yeah, It's not bad overall if you must choose a field that probably shouldn't exist, I just think that marketing, even when it's useful, is not the only job you should do.

      A life of supporting pure Rhetoric isn't healthy, and I know because I've lived it. You really have to take that free time and throw it into doing material shit.
