Ask HN: Career Change to something without computers
I know previously on HN I had read of people who had transitioned out of programming into other work. I can't find the thread now though.
I am considering doing this. I have some health issues and I think sitting at a computer too much is leading to it. I've tried taking breaks from programming in the past and I usually end up missing it so I'm sure I still would continue programming as a hobby, however, I want to look into what other jobs a programmer might be good at that doesn't require sitting at a computer for so long.
Has anyone else switched from programming to another career? What other types of jobs would be good for a programmer?
