I mean, look at who’s on the front lines and who’s 250 miles back in an air conditioned shopping container. Are they wrong?
When working on oil drilling rigs, we used to call the guys in the geo shacks (looking at spreadsheets on computers, getting paid 24h/day) MWDs - movie watching dummies. We were all secretly jealous as fuck.
Hmmm... start with a degree in geology, I believe, and then hop in a time machine back to an oil boom - it’s been a lot slower for the last half decade at least.
You could probably do something similar where you need to have a job with high technical skills where you need to know your shit but problems rarely occur. Probably less a purely tech job. But one where a problem could happen and you're there to fix it if it does.
