I'm seriously considering quitting the IT field in favor of a more hands-on job, like, for example, carpentry or luthiery. The place I moved to seems to have a lot of opportunities for working with all three professions mentioned, but I feel a little drained from the IT routine.
The current micro-bubble post-pandemic burst will make it more challenging to find a new job in IT. I don't need a full time job, just any job to qualify for permanent residency, so I figure its a perfect time to try something new.
