You're entitled to an opinion, but consider reading the room that this particular opinion has no value in this thread. What you want is immaterial to OP seeking a role for his loved one that isn't a grind. If you’re not helping, what was the point in writing this comment? More empathy please.

On a different note, you're probably understanding the value of a good sql programmer, especially outside of pure tech companies. I've seen one provide more value than a team of programmers, and unlike many codebases it's rare that you need to do a complete rewrite 5-10 years later.
Indeed, just because you’re not willing to grind doesn’t mean you don’t have value, or have less value. Value discovery requires experience and wisdom. Great comment.
