Exactly. Doing all my life software development, since I was kid. I don't have any other skills. I have been considering becoming a cook, or going into the military tho. But it's hard to do when your personality wired around computers, and you have to change it.

I feel it. I’ve been looking at the FBI. It would still be 80% desk work, but better than 100%.

Wage is still a step back and I’m nearing the age cut-off, so would have to jump on it pretty soon.

I would love to get in with the CIA. Truly. But I made some bad choices when I was younger so I am disqualified out the gate. Same with FBI.

Same issue, except the cook part. The only viable option is building a product in a niche not yet bastardised by corporate. There are some out there just need to dig hard.
