Ah yes, the common misconception that trades are simplistic!

Most trades (!including plumbing!) have VASTLY more stringent requirements than tech, are often more mentally stimulating, and yes, quite rewarding.

Disclaimer: I've worked in software for ~9 years and worked in trades before that. ASE master certified auto technician, father is a master electrician, uncles are contractors. I'll probably become a plumber.

I feel tech was more fulfilling before all the bullshit agile rituals and related nonsense. The past 10 years things have really gone downhill.
