Probably food service or retail. Just about anything customer facing, really. I’ve never done those kind of jobs but it looks really stressful, like the people doing them are always doing something. There’s no sitting around and watching movies in that kind of job.

What kind of jobs are you doing?

[–] Bye@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

I’m a senior software engineer, I work about 2 hours a day for 3 days a week. I’m very privileged, but I went to school until I was 30 and have 2 advanced degrees so there’s that. Also I’m pretty sure I’m going to be laid off in Q1 2024 so I’ll probably retire.

I worked really hard long hours in grad school and in my first post doc, and I don’t ever want to be stressed like that again in my life.

Funny you should add that last sentence. My first day as a restaurant worker 30 something years ago was entirely sitting watching videos.
