I worked nonstop for the past 20 years in tech / design space, and wanted a break. I also wanted to spend some time with family.
I'll take at least 6 months off.
But then I'd need to look for a job, but I really don't like the idea of going back to doing the same thing... i.e. web/app design/dev work for larger corporations.
So I'm open to doing something completely different, even if it pays 1/3rd.
Has anyone here made successful transition to field outside technology?
Any advice in general would be appreciated.
I teach computer science and programming. This is a good field to go into, because (a) it applies my knowledge acquired from my earlier life as a developer, and (b) is always in demand. If you want to teach this, you will have no trouble getting a job at a high school, community college, or university.
I would also argue it's not, strictly speaking, a technology job. Teaching is a people-oriented job, regardless of the subject.
