> I'm a software engineer, and I would never want this job. It's got to be incredibly boring and tedious.

That's cool, but testing roles exist throughout the industry and some people choose QA as a career.

I wouldn't want to be an IT support specialist, it sounds like a boring job to me, but that doesn't mean that there aren't a million career support specialists employed by trillion dollar companies like Apple.

I'm sure people would line up to be paid well to work on Apple's QA even if you wouldn't.

To be fair, software engineers are in the kind of luxurious position where we can actually say something like:

I don’t enjoy doing this job so I won’t do it.

I don’t think that’s true for the majority of people, who just happen to do a specific job because they’ve been trained for it and it pays the bills.

Especially the fact that QA folks don't need to be software engineers or even be paid SWE wages.
