I was a helpdesk dude, worked as domain admin for a handful of companies and have worked from my homedesk.
I gave it up, settled for lesser wage to break out that boring chore every day.
Now i am a service technician for copy machines again. That job i did 20 years ago and re-entered that business.
For me its more interesting to deal with people face to face and to leave the house.
Gone are the days i had to stay on helpdesk phone until evening, even when nothing was to be done.
Sure, the machines are heavy, i have bring them to the customers but its a free workout.
This job demanding that i plan my working day on my own, collect parts, read manuals to solve problems and using my experience of the old days, which surprisingly works.
In between i have coffee breaks, talk to customers and also sell new machines by just advocating them. The service dude sells more than the sales agent.
Sure, its stress sometimes, up to 6 service calls i got every day, including driving to customers, traffic jam etc.
But, now, for the sake of the OPs questions, i am happy with what i am doing.
In my early 50ies, i plan to retire with 60 years. That long i think i can do that job.
My company can offer me a part time job for delivering toner and ink cartridges, a part time job when i am officially retired.
Its germany here, my pension funds will be payed when i reach 67 years old, but i am free to quit full-time every moment, but pension will be deducted so that part time job will compensate it.
