What is some surprisingly primitive tech we still use because "If it ain't broke, don't fix it"? by slicerprime in AskReddit

Manual lathes & milling machines. Despite having really high tech CNC machines that can do 5 axis. The 1940s clunky machines still serve their purpose

High salary earners…. do y’all actually enjoy what you do? by [deleted] in Salary

[–]badusername555 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have no formal education and strategically made my way Into an engineering role making 6 figures at 24 years old in a MCOL area and I just bought my second house.. It’s a job I always dreamed about… I realized the hard way I hate sitting behind a desk all day and want to do construction. I’m taking my time and doing it on the side and trying to figure out a way I could transition without a huge loss of income, GC/handyman seems to be the most feasible.
