Kinda? GC tech is "unskilled" sweatshop work most of the time. I got a decent gig but most analysis jobs are fucking brutal.

Yeah just hotter, more boring, more job hazards, more repetitive and tedious, and usually with worse bosses. And more dehumanizing work like doing drug tests for cops, obscuring the extent of pollution, etc.. Some gigs are alright like manufacturing and quality control. But most are just labor mills. And cooking pays (a little) more anyway.

Oh interesting. I would have guessed the other way around.

Nah. Cooking requires a variety of skills, dealing with people, and aesthetic taste. Harder to automate. GC/MS techs only exist because they just haven't made a robot that can do all it yet.
