I see what you are saying but I think you are falling for the grass is greener fallacy. I'll explain because I have visibility into those other industries personally. I happen to have to have a close friend who was an investment banker

This is going to sound more mean spirited than I mean it to be because I enjoy programming. You should move away from San Francisco. In places like Austin, Tx or Atlanta, GA you could easily retire with a nice home after 5 or 10 years as a
