I spent some time driving forklift after programming and computer tech work burnt me out. Also did some construction, and a few other things. I think me calling the "driving forklift in a warehouse" "my vacation" the entire time I was working there helped attitudes a lot. It sure got people laughing often .. (made "employee of the month" a couple of times too, I was definitely keeping up with everyone!)

After that, pivot to IT security ... burn out. Then pivot to web development which emphatically burnt me in different ways (I'm kind of nonvisual, so visualizing things is my bane. see aphantasia which I found out about later). Last - embedded electronics software, where I'm much happier. Sadly out of work for the last year so let's see where next....
