When I started college, I majored in Electrical Engineering because I was ready to swear on a stack of Bibles that there wasn't even a modest income that could have been made in the 1980 and beyond as a programmer, the thing I really wanted to be. Reality showed me otherwise. ;-)
I've enjoyed programming, being a system administrator (now called DevOps), and being a machinist (making gears). You're a tool maker and user, as are we all... there are many types of tools to make or use.
Artist, as others have said... there's really no limit.
