Ask HN: How to stop dreaming about working in other fields?
I have severe FOMO or ‘grass is greener’ issues in that I have a well paid, fairly easy job, but I keep dreaming about working in other fields. I’ve been a Developer, and now Software Sales Engineer (still coding a lot), for 10 years.
I keep dreaming about going to school again for Physics or ‘real’ engineering (Mech, EE, etc.) and working on cars, planes, ships. I have friends who went that route and work on really cool things but they keep saying they did CS due to how easy and flexible of a life it gives.
Any tips to get my mind out of this and just be happy with my life?
