Then why is it sad that delivery drivers will get a 6 figure salary?

Again…

The sad part was that I wasted at least 10 years of my life trying to achieve something that I eventually had to accept was never going to happen.

I had to leave a 20 year IT career in order to get what I was looking for. Delivery drivers deserve every last cent they fought for. It’s just a shame that IT works don’t have someone fighting for them collectively.

Why. Is. It. Sad. That. Delivery. Drivers. Get. A. Six. Figure. Salary.

Nothing else you’re saying takes away from the fact that you literally said this.

Seriously, stop focusing on your misinterpretation of a single statement…
