This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Anon teaches us that making seemingly random choices and going for it is better than making no choices at all
Literally, it's kinda inspiring tbh. While choices were pretty much freefall like, when he commited, he commited. And when situation got clearer, readjusted course slightly to make it better for himself.
Not once would it pass through my mind I'd ever find greentext inspirational.

Man, I recently quit IT and went back to school and became an electrician. Couldn't be any happier rn
Funny enough i switched from being an electrician to doing IT a few years ago.
I'm making a ton more money and I'm inside all day. Which is nice today because it's 25°F and windy as shit here today. Its less nice when it's 70°F and sunny though.

I'm in cybersecurity and being a heat pump technician is starting to sound very appealing. Can't seem to convince my younger brother tho. Guess we all gotta make our mistakes before we can learn.
I consider leaving cyber and becoming a barista on a daily basis
Do it, I left IT to become a chef. The pay is less but I feel so much better about my job. Theres a huge difference doing something that actually benefits people (making good food for people was my path, it doesn't have to be cooking specifically) rather than slaving away for a corporation's benefit. It's awesome when you go out and see people enjoying what you did

My CISO has been trying to recruit me for year to his department, but I haven't got the mental health to spare for the cybers.
I firmly believe you cant really fully articulate what a certain career feels like. You need to experience it for yourself because it subjective. Some may like it and some may not. If he were to listen to your advice, he may be left wondering; what if.

If it was one of those federal jobs with a 3 year probation then green text is probably unemployed now.

You're doing God's work. Underground runoff is real, and it's full of shit and pesticides. Digging a well for fresh water sucks.
Op could have made worse choices overall. ATVs are pretty cool. Soil is soil. Coulda been a cubicle monkey. At least op is getting some sun.
ATV is cool, yeah!
But sampling soil from who-knows-where is shit. Imagine two weeks of rain at 4 °C and everyday you have to drive out. You are muddy, you are wet, you are freezing.
I'd take a substantial pay cut for the opportunity.
--Me, cubicle code monkey wage slave.
If you get the proper gear, clothing etc. - - still better than a cubicle in urban hell.
Thanks for the reality check
But you are also paid, which is alright.

Forrest Gump: "I don't know if we each have a destiny, or if we're all just floatin' around accidental-like on a breeze. But I, I think maybe it's both."
OP is Gump lol
Honestly? Sounds like a pretty decent life path
I knew a guy who did that around here and I never seen anything but a smile on his face.
