Having a job you don't hate is such an amazing thing, it's well worth changing positions every few years if you hate the work, it looks good on a resume and is great for salary.

That being said if you can find a position that is bearable or even enjoyable it's absolutely not worth risking for salary imo (provided financially sustainability). On paper compared to many of my college peers I'm now pretty far behind in salary due to not pivoting to CS, but in terms of mental health it couldn't be more different.

A public health hazard is definitely a different league than inhumane and act of war. It's a little silly if anything, considering the large number And long history of pamphlets sent North from the South.
