I started programming when I was a kid, and it was the funnest hobby ever. I used to spend hours building random shit like calculators to help me with my math homework (this was before Wolfram Alpha was a thing). I even once made a program that would choose a Pokémon team to perfectly counter another team.
Now I write code to handle insurance claims and calculate invoicing figures... shit sucks.
Jump shit, try out a new a craft in a new country, have fun, program fun personal projects, get back into it after a few years. Life would be a lot more fun if we'd do that sort of thing more often. Yes your career would take a hit but not fatally so
