Ask HN: Folks who left tech later in their career, where did you go?

After 20+ years, I've recently come to the conclusion that I don't want to be in "IT" anymore. It is all I've ever done (sysadmin, dev, security), but I just don't enjoy it anymore. I've started to look around at other options, but as you would expect, the pay for non-tech roles is way lower than what I have grown accustomed to. I am looking to pay off all my debt before switching careers, but I still have a family to support, so unfortunately, pay rate still matters.

I'm curious to hear what other folks have done in similar situations. Were you able to find something comparable? Do I just need to accept that I'll never make near what I currently make outside of tech? Do you feel you made the right choice?

TIA
