[Thread] If all jobs paid the same and qualifications were no issue, what career would you choose instead of your current role?

Always had a fascination for flying objects as a kid.

If this held true, I would really love to work in the aerospace domain. Building insane drones or UAVs would be awesome, especially after a decent stint in software.

Was reading about this company called Zipline which works in autonomous aerial delivery. Quite insane how they supply medical supplies in Rwanda using gliding drones that are launched across the country.

Stories like these inspire an entire generation to take up engineering and change the world.

What about you all?

@Brisktalk Really? There is this guy called “The Theorist” on YouTube. I love his renditions of popular music. 🎶🎹

@tzr and what inspired you to choose this? Because, it is a very interesting answer according to me.

@salt Grew up watching anime. Later in school, I joined some discord groups, which subbed anime eps & scanlated manga "illegally." We became too big through the years that Kodansha sent us a DMCA, hence the group disbanded.

Surprisingly, all of us got job offers from Viz & other smaller pubs to join them since our skills were too "good" to let go. Even promised some work directly related to some studios.

This was during college placements, and me, being the only Indian in our group, chose IT because I wanted stability...

Something related to Physics and Maths. They just seem to make sense to me.

I would love to work on these, away from the noise of the city and in the lap of nature.

@MajorDust55 The love and fascination for Physics and Math is supreme. It’s akin to being enlightened. ✨
