I fucking hate my job. I wish I was a software engineer

I'm a mechanical engineer. I fucking hate it. Because the things you make are visible, people are nit picky about the most stupid shit. The work is hard, your bosses are tools, and your coworkers are idiots.

Should I bother trying to switch over without a degree? I did do a little bit of firmware programming 3 years ago when the EE I was working with was retarded. pls help

I've been thinking about switching fields as well, been overworked lately, same problems as you. I'm in software.

But then I remembered.

Don't switch careers or take a different job because you want to take it easy. If you're going to switch, do so because you want to go where the action is. You can do it, M.Eng-san!
