I think the ESL/teaching English abroad thing is always an option. Being relatively young is def a good thing, imo. Olds are not so attractive to employers, career-switching or not. i had the chance to do project management after a long time being a dev/whatever, and it was actually really cool. also did some product mgmt and that was cool too. there are often companies looking for 'junior' folks with that stuff -- the main skills needed are tech + 'interested' + young (can also be read as: not jaded yet)/cheap. my advice to all my friends and people i care about is...get out now. that is, get out of tech, get out of wage slavery, get out of anything that allows you to be owned or is about to be automated (everything) -- get into rent-seeking and other horrible stuff b/c that's the way to survive and thrive, unfortunately. or, move to a less insane country, like somewhere in Scandinavia maybe. good luck!
