I do not know you. But maybe accept tech is part of the world now, and is not something set aside for us techies. So I think you can fall back to standard wisdoms.

Be the change you want to see in life. And you cannot rush time, so don’t expect your vision to become reality in your life.

I stepped out of tech two years ago. But to be hones I stepped out being “a microsoft employee” while not working for microsoft.

And guess what. I now doing more tech than ever. Unless society collapses - tech skill will keep on earning bread so think twice before leaving your skills behind. Just do it your way an * the rest. :)
