Ask HN: In mid 40s. What non-tech job can I do?

I worked nonstop for the past 20 years in tech / design space, and wanted a break. I also wanted to spend some time with family.

I'll take at least 6 months off.

But then I'd need to look for a job, but I really don't like the idea of going back to doing the same thing... i.e. web/app design/dev work for larger corporations.

So I'm open to doing something completely different, even if it pays 1/3rd.

Has anyone here made successful transition to field outside technology?

Any advice in general would be appreciated.
