Going back 25 years: It doesn't do much for your confidence at all. My way out was voluntary work, lead to engagement with a lot of different people in local voluntary sector, lead to a paid post, which, in turn lead to a teaching job. I could see what Further Education college teaching was like from my work with trainees, and I realised I could do that. Never been out of work since... What transferable skills do programmers have that could be used in different fields?
