I love programming, but I feel like it doesn’t have too much use outside getting people to spend their hard-earned money in stuff they don’t need…

I feel like jobs such as manufacture, cooking, agriculture and whatnot contribute way more to society than all the “Big Data” or “Business Intelligence” garbage… They actually help fulfill people’s needs.

All this comes because I tried to think a way that programming could help fulfill the needs of at least some people, but all I could think of is that maybe it could help government administration or something…

I’m honestly thinking in just stop searching for tech-related jobs and settle for a less paying but more helpful and fulfilling job. Just anything where I can feel like I’m actually helping people.

Thanks for reading my rant.

    True, but also you’d be earning a lot of money if you’re hired by the right company, although I don’t know if that applies to the first world, since wages are “high” there. I know a couple of people where I live who work in that field and they have ridiculous amounts of money thanks to that shit. One of these people writes code for some Argentinian satellites so that’s kind of fulfilling, though.
