Comment on Ask HN: For those devs that have left the field, what are you doing now?

Comments

I became a lawyer. Huge mistake, ruined my life, trying to become a dev again.

I went back to school for structural engineering. Also a big mistake. Would like to be a dev again but there's a lot of make-up studying to do. I have been working on small hobby projects now and then so all of the skill acquired in my past life have not been lost.

Why was it a mistake?

I dislike it greatly and accumulated 200k+ in extra student debt.

I am trying to switch back to software engineering now.
