Trained in a lot of other jobs.

Worked as architect, movie critic, civil engineering, radio host, radio manager, race engine engineering (F1), and back to coding. It makes the most fun. I knew several others from my town with similar jumps. As architect you are trained as generalist and can do everything. Another architect colleague also worked in F1 engines, others did race boats or went to the Olympics.

if you can succeed in an architecture program, you can eventually work in just about any field, by brute force alone.
