This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

I'm in cybersecurity and being a heat pump technician is starting to sound very appealing. Can't seem to convince my younger brother tho. Guess we all gotta make our mistakes before we can learn.

I consider leaving cyber and becoming a barista on a daily basis

Do it, I left IT to become a chef. The pay is less but I feel so much better about my job. Theres a huge difference doing something that actually benefits people (making good food for people was my path, it doesn't have to be cooking specifically) rather than slaving away for a corporation's benefit. It's awesome when you go out and see people enjoying what you did

YES! This perfectly describes my current feeling about my job!
