    I’m the guy who ditched his IT career to work at Lowe’s. Been going pretty well, except for the pay of course. Only been a month and the GM and a couple of AGMs are noticing me, giving me better/different work.

    Seems I’m not getting so many evening hours, that’s my main complaint. This spring I bet I can go full daytime hours.

    Being part-time allows me to pursue some woodworking projects I hope to make money on, and the 10% employee discount doesn’t hurt!

      May I ask what made you ditch your IT career?

      I’m in an IT career as well (admin work), relatively a newcomer (finished my apprenticeship 1-2 years ago), but honestly I’ve already considering whether this is right for me. Don’t get me wrong, I love the work itself, just knowing that so many companies underfunding their IT department and thus causing more stress for it makes me question whether this is something I want to subject myself to.
