I wanted to be a programmer a few years ago but I just couldn’t put my head around it. Considering AI is becoming a thing I made the right call there.

    I wanted to get into IT (primarily computer networking), but I unfortunately could not deal with the customer service aspect and all the corporate bullshit that came with being in the field. Plus, it’s nigh impossible to get a job in the field now, even after getting a certificate and “doing my time” working at a call center (hate that shit.)

      Yeah IT is intensely customer focused, either via direct support or project planning and coordination with execs/etc at the higher levels.

      You have to have deeply arcane technical knowledge, but also at least passable social skills and patience to do the work well.
