I mean shitty is relative. Compared to manual labor jobs I'm sure my current job would be a blessing. Six figures, sit around all day, job is easy if I had the mental fortitude to force myself to do it, I can get away with only working maybe 20 hours a week. It's shitty because it doesn't advance me at all, there's no room for growth, no opportunity for learning something that would be meaningful at literally any other job, there is zero social aspect to it since I'm 100% remote and work on projects alone, all my coworkers are on the opposite coast of the country. I have tried using my free time to get more familiar with ML/AI stuff but my brain just shuts down as soon as I begin to try. I would love, in theory, to transition towards AI work but the learning curve feels so steep. But the pay would be great, I think there is an absolute shit ton up upward room to grow, I could probably work on some pretty interesting problems (though I'm sure there's tons of "make ads more effective" ML jobs out there too). Maybe if I take some time off work I can try to get back into it, spend 6 months learning, and try to get an entry level ML job.
