Could I suggest you use your skillset as a software engineer for something useful to your community or for something you enjoy? When I did litigation work for a big firm I woke up every day wanting to kill myself. Ever since I quit that job I've had bad days, but not THAT bad anymore. Maybe you just need to put your skillset to good use and not bullshit?


Also why does the chart not have Bullshit Jobs on it?
