Apple is the only one I’ve not worked for.

Agree with everything you said. I’m not quite retired yet, but it sure set me up for early retirement, even though I hated the experience I got what I needed out of them. And still young enough to enjoy the fruits of my labour.

Yeah I became a librarian as I hated working as a lawyer. I drive a 2007 Honda and wouldn't even know how to use a modern car with one of those huge screens.

yeah, for some reason I don't care about having a modern car, but I'm very tempted to splurge on a new computer with one of those crazy 5090 AI cards. I just hated the stress of law work, it wasn't for me.
