A Profession to Solve Problems With Software In Everyday Life
Seeing people who have problem with software that I can solve easily yet they struggle with has made me think about ways to solve it entirely.
Option A: educate everyone on the basics of information handling. Teaching this does not need actual computers.
Option B: educate every software engineer on the basics of software engineering. I have a feeling that this is harder than Option A; much harder, in fact.
Option C: create a new profession.
This article is about Option C.
So I see some have physical shops to repair hardware. What if we can do the same but with software? As information handlers, we can offer services such as looking up certain information and making that into a one-click application (making custom software), printing out maps and other info, installing OS, m.. you get the idea. Having a physical shop is important because… E-mail. It’s not made of paper. It’s like … uh … do you know what a file is? No? Nevermind then.
How much pay is in this profession? I don’t know. Who set up websites for individuals as a profession is close to this line of work. Doing this also requires a physical store front. About renting it… I’d rather not rent one.
How much respect will you get? You fix problems for the commons that nobody can, cared to fix for them before, so, major respect.

I have thought more about this.
What will mend the relation between those who don’t know tech and those that do? Electronic gadget manufacturers care about themselves and nothing else.
Creating a hardware company might help. It is of utmost importance that I play by my own terms, or there is no point in working towards the goal.
