I once went to teach a training course to a team at some BigCo, and there was one guy who'd switched to software development from being a baker. He'd worked up to owning two shops, but the leases expired and he couldn't afford what the landlord wanted to renew them. His brother was a dev so he thought he'd give it a go. He loved it - no more being in the shop at 4am getting the day's bread ready and still being there at 8pm doing admin. He'd kept some of his gear, though, and was the go-to man for wedding cakes and fancy patisserie for the company.
