I'm trying to imagine a job where being a disagreeable antisocial recluse is an advantage and I'm coming up blank.

IT is super hierarchical and requires immense political skills to get anything done.

So.. truck driver or IT?

My cousin works (sometimes) as a truck driver. He's certified for any size truck, flammable/biohazardous goods, the lot. He'd be making good money if he could stop telling his bosses to fuck off.

I was in IT for 20 years. In order to succeed, I had to become 50% therapist.

Am currently in IT, can confirm.
