I don't know, I keep hearing that electricians and plumbers and similar jobs aren't running out of work anytime soon, and that you can make a very very good living out of these kinds of technical occupations, especially in a small community. Maybe it's not that hard to contribute value to an organization; just that the organizations we've built for ourselves are flawed to start with. Perhaps the lesson here is that a lot of what we're doing is just wankery. Honestly, 90% of the startups you hear about don't meaningfully improve anyone's life in a way they couldn't do without. Monthly boxes full of crap? The new social network du jour? I've been in the tech industry for about a decade, I'm starting to have enough money that I could live a very comfortable life with a medium salary job, and I'm starting to think more and more about whether it's really worth it.
