Anyone else work in IT full time find that you are becoming more and more jaded and want to leave the industry. I find after work i try to distance myself from anything computer related because i've realized i hate IT as a career and should have kept it a hobby....Or maybe i just hate work in general.
I love it. I don't even eat lunch because I prefer working, even though I have shit tasks sometimes.

fair enough.
I'm a software developer and wish I could drive trains all day.
I envy the subway drivers everyday.

I think that is pretty normal. I used to do IT, before transitioning to more of a software dev on a devops. I've pretty much stopped doing anything technical as a hobby.
For what its worth, IT is the shittiest side of tech work so you may want to get out of that, and into something a little more interesting.

Isn't software development a subset of IT?

I work with IT , EE and Networking and I can't say I do.

I was under the impression that now days big companies just contracted software writing work out to other businesses?

i'm just not that great at programming in general, i can script pretty decently. I honestly think i need to shift entirely away into something completely different...i just don't know what.

I mainly develop our ERP system, using SQL and SSRS where suitable. I enjoy what I do for the most part, our system is very bespoke at this point; with daily development for ~15 years. Our ERP system is very flexible, and very easy to modify.
The company culture is that 'there is an IT fix for everything', which is good for the most part; though it does get frustrating sometimes when people will blame the system for not thinking for them, then asking us to make it do so.
We were bought out by a big multinational company a few years ago.

It's kinda like that. I try to not do anything computer related at evening, but I want to do something personal on a weekend or vacation.
> last project: set up a hotel openVPN gateway/router for fellow coworkers, because wifi in hotels may be shitty. Plug it in, boom, it just works.
