I enjoyed college and was fortunate enough to enjoy a good white collar career. But if I could do it all over again, I would have learned how to become a licensed electrician, plumber, etc.

    Sorry, I was actually asking. I don’t have an office job, but the stereotype is that it’s stable, boring work, no?

      Totally depends. Everyone gets joy in different things. Something that might bore me, like sales, might appeal to someone else. You get to know the client and develop a relationship with them, etc. I’d rather solve new situations, not handle repetitive sales. But any white collar job is different depending on your job and your industry
