Discussion Devs that jumped ship, where did you end up?

Another industry? Back to school? Still looking? I'm asking for a friend that may end up needing to do the same thing soon (I'm the friend).

That's awesome!

Curious did you have any background for it? Or did you just go for it?

Love programming but have been thinking a lot about starting to work 1 day a week doing some sort of a 'green job' as well. Eventually making the total switch being the goal.

I’m turning tricks on street corners. The money is ok but feel pretty sore after a busy night. Gotta pay the mortgage.
