Forget well-paying, I haven no idea what I CAN do that's not programming. Sure I can try working as a teacher or as a nurse - but that's all it will be - trying. I might despair, burn out etc. Even people who are on paper better suited to these jobs burn out all the time.
I'm 39 so it's not going to be an easy switch.
I hope we all have 5-10 more years in the industry, that's enough time to save enough money.
