There are lots of jobs that are basically paid thinkers, IT is full of them but then again, you have to actually think or things won't get done/fixed.

who in IT is just thinking and not doing stuff

[-] balderdash9@lemmy.zip 2 points 2 years ago

I'm not in that field but my guess is the higher you go career wise, the more you have meetings and the less you have time for hands on work

[-] Ajen@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 years ago

True, but that's not just thinking, it's also debating and negotiating.
