Man, people here are really dumb. I now quite a few people who've worked in both kitchens and IT. Most people go from kitchens to IT, and you know why? Because in IT, you get to sit in a really comfortable chair, and once you've automated everything, you get to surf the web unless things go wrong once you've convinced people that if it ain't broke, don't fix it, and have outsourced everything to software as a service and moved all your infrastructure to the cloud so you don't have to pay clowns to screw it up locally. I don't know why people become programmers to work 10x as hard for the same pay, but that's what school trains you to do. The real easy life is to be a financial analyst. Everyone else does the hard work, and you just look at data, save a a few million dollars here and there by staring at spreadsheets and running pivot tables, then layoff all the people who are actually losing you money.
