Ask HN: Web developer and looking for a career change, what are my options?

After a year at my job it seems like I'm no longer interested in programming - I am no longer excited about new frameworks, etc and I feel like my skillset (Python and Django) is slowly fading into irrelevance (everyone seems to be about machine learning and data science nowadays), and I don't feel interested in learning those fields (ML looks like magic to me and involves lots of math, which I suck at). I also would like more interaction with people instead of spending my days in front of a monitor. Note that I am only 20 so I don't have that much experience either, and finding a good developer's job seems hard given the competition for all the good startups.

Anyone else feels that way? How did you solve this issue in the end, and if you did switch careers, what job are you doing now?
