Exactly this. I was working low wage jobs 6 days a week. That made me realize I couldn't support a family living like that. I went and got an engineering degree

  If the pay was the same, would you seriously rather work at McDonald’s than at an engineering job? That seems unimaginable to me.

    Maybe not McDonald's but something outside with very little responsibility and a bit of exercise would be nice. Don't get me wrong I love to code and would probably find my self doing that again but every crunch time of an unrealistic deadline that had nothing to do with the effort required to complete the project has me fantasizing about spending six months in the summer picking fruit.
