Ask HN: I need career advice to get out of tech

I think there's opportunities in manufacturing high quality goods, "made in USA", even in small quantities. Tools, knives, furniture, machines... things that will last. Check out reddit's r/BuyItForLife/ -- a forum for people looking for the best quality stuff. Read "Shop Class as Soulcraft" -- with the skilled trades there's a lot less BS, a lot less politics, because there are honest objective standards for good and bad performance.

This is what I've been thinking about for my own life, anyway. YMMV.

Thanks for the link, that's just the kind of thing I've been gobbling up lately.
