I am a systems architect. I love my job, and work is the only place I can do this stuff. I don’t have a million $ for hardware here.
Also, I’m paid well and the environment is great. For me, it is true, I don’t “work”, I do what I like. And as a german, I benefit from all the holidays, and general employee rights and protection.
Good for you! I studied computer science and afterwards I had no joy in programming anymore. I’m a data manager right now, doing data stuff and little programming which is ok. Maybe I will do a full time programming job again one day.
Plus, when you get to a certain point in some careers, especially IT ones, you don’t have to work a full 8 hours straight. I can pretty much keep whatever hours I want as long as the job gets done.
Sometimes that includes overtime, but most of the time it doesn’t.
Nothing is fun 8 hours a day

I’m a programmer and would happily spend 8 hours doing it in my free time haha
It’s nice to get paid to do something you enjoy. But it’s still not as enjoyable as doing it for fun.

Yeah I code in my free time anyways so idk I think there’s at least a perfect job for me.

Yeah I actually studied games tech. So it was more focused on video games. It was a lot of fun.
We had one module that was just playing board games and then finally making one.
Computer science level stuff isn’t needed for like 90% of jobs. Although I’m sure it helps.
Yes programming is the way. Truly the closest thing to this dream
