Its a living. And now that I've got decades of experience under my belt I can work for myself.

Every day I walk into my office and just think..."Here we go again..."
I hate it already without having to intern, I never loved keeping track on numbers and rules and bureaucracy in the first place!

But it is a fair point, it's definitely possible to have a job that at its core is something you enjoy but there's enough nonsense around the core that the dissatisfaction will outweigh the core enjoyable part. But that seems more like something that could be addressed by changing the situation rather than the entire career.

I guess that's the alternative.. if you aren't doing something you really enjoy, at least do something you're inherently good at so you can make a good living without having to always feel like you're expending your life every day.

Of course! I love going into lock stores, it's all so cool, and lots of tech overlap nowadays.
