I got tired of the long hours, low pay, offshorung, training my H1 replacement etc after the last layoff I tossed my engineering degree in the trash and took a custodian job.

I've been in IT for the past 30 years, still at it, but am planning to retire in 2025 and start doing something fun for a change. Healthcare IT is a grind and am just tired of the 'round the clock support mentality.
