At my previous job, I got hired to build VR apps for the HTC Vive on Windows, which was exactly what I wanted to do. But I only ever got assignments to build AR apps for the iPad[0]. So while nobody was physically putting a gun to my head, there was the ever present threat of not being able to provide for my family.

[0] And it didn't even make sense. I was making industrial equipment repair guide software. The first version of it I made for the Hololens, where it made sense, because, you know, you need your hands free to be able to actually enact the repairs. But you try telling that to a literally corrupt manager.
