I'm considering architecture, industrial design, interaction design, etc
Reasons for giving up on software development:
1) I'm not very good at it.
2) I would prefer to make something physical and substantial I can show people. Screens don't impress any more.
3) I have RSI which means I can go for weeks without being able to use a computer.
Any suggestions?
