> I've always distilled this down to people who like the "craft" and those who like the "result".
I find it very unlikely anyone who only likes the results will ever pick up the craft in the first place
It takes a very specific sort of person to push through learning a craft they dislike (or don't care about) just because they want a result badly enough
I hate IT, will pick literally anything else to work at, but the money is an issue.
I have a love/hate relationship with tech, but it would take many paragraphs to explain it :)
I love IT because it is a way to earn decent money, a way to escape from poverty. Hate everything else, though.
