Ask HN: How successful were you getting out of tech and where did you go?

I want nothing more than to do any other line of work. Honestly I feel more inspired to drive Uber than ever do another tech challenge or deal with another incompetent manager. Fuck malicious compliance and the assholes who put you in that position. I love programming, but the people and this industry is a whole other beast. I have given 20+ years of my life trying to make a living for my family. It has provided me an income but it came at a cost way more than I ever imagined. I know I'm not alone in feeling this way. I would like to start over, but I have no background or time left to start over with. The idea of burning it all down just to start all over again is painful, but not as painful as it has been working in tech. What success stories of leaving the tech industry can you all provide? I guess for the ones who really got out they probably will never even see this. I know if I had I would not be here reading any of this.
