Landscaper -> retail associate -> construction worker -> software developer Would never go back.

  Funnily enough (part-time) landscaper is neat the top of my list if I would change careers from software. Being outside, dirt in your hands, physical exercise, and the satisfaction of seeing large changes and accomplishments relatively quickly compared to many trades.

    Yeah but that $10 / hour doesn't compare to the $60+ / hour I make from software. What a joke.

      Yes, and software has more room at the higher end too. Our industry has built in golden handcuffs! I have already taken sabbaticals to do other things for a year three times, but always come back for the money.
