For me, it's a mix of factors:

- Our work feels very abstract and removed from real people in the real world. Sometimes I did not even understand what our product did, or it got axed after a year. Marx's theory of alienation felt very real.

- We can afford to consider other options. It actually feels achievable. Few people have that luxury.

- Many of us had a relatively easy career start, and underestimate how hard other fields are to get into.

- The material world just feels better. Making digital art does not feel as good as watercolours. Carving wood is a much more complex sensation than drawing in autocad. Even paper books feel better. I can't explain why, it's just how it is.
