Tangential, but I absolutely loved working in technical support. The satisfaction of actually helping someone with a problem affecting their real life totally outweighed the abuse from individuals who were letting the work part of their life drag the whole rest of it down (which was just kind of sad to watch). I've gotten paid much more for other roles since then, but it's one of the few roles in which I was thanked for what I did by the person I was working for, and that makes a huge difference.
