[QUOTE="Elipe, post: 1489798, member: 17998"] Well said, Roosh! The most physical job I ever worked was as a technician working for this sort of IT offshoot group. We were often also called upon to do things that were vaguely related to IT, like drilling holes for wires, carrying heavy things (not always computer equipment) up and down flights of stairs, and sometimes even between buildings that were about half a mile apart, in the hot Southern sun. That was before we got the privilege of having a golf cart, which made those types of tasks more fun. But the takeaway is that IT is surprisingly physical for a job that's supposed to be about computers. Also, IT also usually follows the "good enough" model: if the user is satisfied with the work you did, it's good enough. Pack up and head back to the office, and check the tickets for more issues that need your attention. It's a far cry from being a coder, though, where you're paid to just sit at your computer and type. Sometimes it's an odd feeling having to ask for IT guys to come do stuff at my desk, because I'm so accustomed to doing it myself and being the IT guy, but it's "policy". And as for "good enough" - kind of, with coding. There is no such thing as perfect code, but other coders will ride your butt about writing better code or sperg out about trivial little things that don't really matter. In fact, we get a lot of spergs compared to straight up IT, now that I think about it. [/QUOTE]
