I left web development job to become a musician several years ago, and while learning music was a great experience, it doesn't pay nearly enough to make a living. I'm constantly broke and barely scraping by, currently i have $20 to last until weekend when my student will (hopefully) pay me ~$10 for a lesson.

I regret leaving IT because i was making good money just coding python and html/css/javascript. And being broke is really, really stressful, especially now that I'm in my thirties. I'm probably going back to programming, but things have changed a lot since 2009 so I'll have to spend some time learning new things like react, es6, new deployment techniques etc.

I don't know your situation, but have you thought about part-time remote work? Or just part-time work in general? Every job post seems to be looking for people who can work with React. If you're looking for remote work, web dev is def the place to be.
