 Everyday I work with javascript I want to quit working in tech more.

Which is a really odd experience given that I got into tech and learned to program with JS. In hindsight I get the sense that I've done nothing but contribute more shit software to an increasly shit software saturated world. 
 What more is, I have no other skills. Programming is the only thing I've been good at (relatively to all other things I spend time doing) 

So what do? Quit and start a hole digging business? Lol. 
 "I'm good a computers" isn't really a good marketing strategy I feel for job hunting. 
 I know I am "good at computers" too. Because I've seen people try to use a self-service kiosk at Dunkin' Donuts. 
 To be clear, I don't think people are less because they can't use a touch screen. I just think there are not a lot of people who are constantly submerged in techology like I am, and have not interest in using anything more than a tv remote. 
 Maybe it's not the techology at all. Maybe they need more time to make decisions about what they want. That's possible.
