Thinking about quitting Tech? Tech Team Weekly
-
- Technology
Ever had one of those days, weeks or years? Have you thought, even briefly, about giving up the tech life and pursuing another career dream? Spurred on by a recent Reddit discussion, Sanj, Gwen and Neil look into the reasons why people might occasionally be tempted, and share their own half-baked alternate career plans. Learn which of your hosts was once a trainee electrician, who'd love to be a mile-high dentist, who took a crash-course in pub ownership, and who just wants to be paid to be on the beach.
In the stand-up, everyone's still hiring, everyone's waiting for shiny new toys to arrive, and two of our crew go cold turkey on caffeine (one more deliberately than the other).
TIMESTAMPS:
00:00 Start
01:06 The Stand-Up
08:58 This Week's Epic
24:45 The Wash-Up
LINKS DISCUSSED THIS WEEK:
Kia EV6
Sticker Mule
Reddit: Anyone else feel the constant urge to leave the field and become a plumber/electrician/brickie?
Lisa Crispin: I'm independent!
Touchstone
The Guardian: 'Relentless calls and constant abuse': why Britain's vets are in crisis
