I absolutely agree. In the past four years I've switched from scientist (well, grad student) to mechanical engineer to software developer. Transitioning can be stressful and difficult, but I'm really happy with where I am now. I look at it as if I'm focusing a microscope. When you begin, you use large, coarse refinements until you get approximately the right focal length. Then you can worry about focusing in on smaller details.
