The era of anyone interested in programming for fun being able to make upper 10% incomes is drawing to a close. You'll unfortunately have to join the rest of us who work for money and program for fun. I suggest engineering (the real kind, not software 'engineering')
- Paul-Craft 6mo agoUnfortunately, I have a visual-spatial processing disability. You don't want me near anything mechanical, and I can't do visualization-based tasks because I literally can't visualize. That eliminates most engineering jobs. There's also the matter of going back to school, and the associated debt I'd have to take. I'd never be able to pay the loans off if I did that.
- idiotsecant 6mo agoElectrical engineering doesn't need much in the way of mechanical aptitude, has a substantial overlap with what you already know depending on specialization, and might not have as much new schooling required as you would think. Something like industrial controls engineering might be right up your alley.
