What are your experiences with creative jobs? I'm currently making 1.5 times median income (compared to the rest of the country) as a Java back-end programmer. But it's not the most exciting job because all I'm doing is keeping legacy code alive and implementing new business specifications.
I have thought of going back to my old job as web-developer, doing cool stuff with Node, Angular and all the cool cutting-edge technology. But I'll only earn a median income if I do that.
Or go straight into management and earn 2 to 2.5 times median. But that seems even more boring.

- collyw 10y agoI think its more about building new stuff or maintaining legacy code. The first is more interesting than the second.
- bitwize 10y agoBecome a UI/UX designer. You could earn twice a programmer's salary.
