I was working flooring making 12/hour, left it to work 25k/year salary in software with plenty unpaid overtime. Very good move long term

Was this with the goal of making more in the long term, and was it a drop in annual income at the time?
The goal was that I didn't want to be lugging carpet in the snow & enjoy programming. Annual income was comparable, being average height & under 120 pounds made it difficult to work 40/week
