I've worked in software development for over 25 years and made a decision last year to change careers. It will take a long time and I will reduce my number of days working as a dev as the other career ramps up. Step one is some online training starting this month and then some volunteer work in my new field.

Counselling. I won't be a psychologist or anything but there's a need for counselors. At first, I'll be volunteering with a phone and text based crisis support organisation (https://www.lifeline.org.au/). Eventually, I hope to open my own counselling service but that will be a few years down the track.

I have a genuine question for you. Are you aware that your comment is offensive?

the term "aware" qualifies your _opinion_ or feelings as a fact, which i refute. it is snarky, maybe, on the dark side of humour. but "offensive" - i don't think so.

Curious if you would share what that new career is.
