Got a Bachelor's in CS and I've worked in software development for a few years across different tech stacks (web, java/android, etc). I'm not horrible at it, but it fucking blows.
Every day I come home and I have absolutely 0 energy left to do anything productive. Bills are stacking up on my desk, not because I can't pay them, but because I can't muster the minimal energy required to get my fucking wallet and write out the credit card numbers and put it in the envelope and walk to the mailbox. My apartment is a goddamn mess, bottles and dirty dishes everywhere. I used to be clean as fuck. All I can do after work is sit on the couch and watch TV or play some shitty video game I don't even enjoy that much. I want to go to meetups or something and get some semblance of a social life, but lol, I don't see that happening with this work schedule and level of fatigue.
I think I hate this industry because I'm forced to think, HARD, pretty much all the time at the jobs I've had. When you're not thinking through the implementation of a feature or algo, you're researching one of the ever-changing, bleeding-edge APIs you can use to solve the same set of problems that have existed forever. I've heard there are some lazier software jobs out there where you can mostly sit on reddit but I've never had one.
Is there some other field I can move to? I wouldn't want all this knowledge I have to go to waste so it would be good if I could use it/advertise myself with it, but I don't want to be doing it as my main job responsibility. Part time might be acceptable but good luck finding a listing for a part-time programming job. I also want health insurance so fuck consulting.

wow
how did you ever make it thru college if you hate programming so much ?
for sure i got damn tired of continually having to learn something new to do the same old thing
when was your last physical ? see a doctor be sure to get TSH blood test thyroid problems can cause severe lack of energy
maybe try a less competitive company ? i did contracting for years & some companies are total grinders like microsoft but plenty of corporate computer jobs are very slow paced still very good $$$

If you make a decent salary, would/could you hire like a maid/personal assistant that you could also fuck?
Sounds like a decent triple whammy for bills/house cleaning/stress relieving

>health insurance so fuck consulting
fail
almost all consulting firms have health plans
otherwise get your own individual health plan that's what i did blue cross blue shield etc

Are you a virgin? Because you sounds like a virgin.
Doing that sounds like a great idea until you realize that it doesn't solve the problem of being fatigued by work.
Sure, it might be awesome for the first few months or even year of coming home to a pair of giant titties and plump, ready ass who cooks you a hot meal but eventually you'll have to come to grips with the fact that you're paying extra money to try and distract yourself from the fact that you hate your job and, by extension, a large part of your life. Plus, she can always quit or end up wanting more and you have to either find a replacement or realize that you're basically in an actual relationship anyway since you've been fucking her so long - it's going to wear on you psychologically and only compound the problems of feeling a lack of fulfillment.
MAYBE there's some story-book ending where they fall in love with each other after all and the pussy pounding takes on a new level - but that sounds more like a Japanese hentai porno fantasy than any semblance of reality.

>how did you ever make it thru college if you hate programming so much ?
I don't hate it, but I've found that I don't really like doing it for money (ie working on shit I don't care about). It's fine as a hobby, but I don't have energy to work on hobby projects anymore.
>when was your last physical ?
Actually just had one, with the full blood panel. Nothing seems to be extremely wrong with me, and thyroid is fine.

That's good to know, I'll keep that in mind. I guess I meant 'fuck freelancing'.

>hire like a maid/personal assistant that you could also fuck?
Like the other anon said, doesn't solve the low energy issues. I've had people to fuck but I've never had much of a sex drive so it's not an issue anyway.
