I recall discussing this with some one who had switched to web dev from music - he had a Phd and was a London Session musician who had played on top 10 hits.
At some point it stops being fun - 8 hour days practicing for example he mentioned.

- C1sc0cat 8y agoI think this was when he was intensively studying for His PHD and was for an extended period.
