Ask HN: Outdoors career options for ex-engineers?
I've been a software engineer or tech entrepreneur for a decade and a half. My migraine problems have gotten to a point where I feel like I'm using too much medication for my own good. A lot of its causes seem almost unavoidable due to screen uses, for my job. What are alternative career options for someone like me? - almost no experience with anything outside of software engineering and a little bit of teaching - physically quite weak (5'8", 120 lbs) and can't lift very much, also approaching 40 years old - outdoors or at least anything that doesn't involve looking at a screen, even if indoors - have a 3 year old at home so jobs that require traveling very much is not really an option I know it's probably unrealistic to find an alternative job that pays nearly as much as a software dev, but what are any options at all? 1 comments on Hacker News.
