Ask HN: Apply your developper skills in completely different jobs

Hi,

I have been a developer for 5+ years and I am considering changing completly my career and stopping any IT related activities. I feel like being able to script stuff and develop small apps would be really useful in most of the other jobs but do you have examples based on your experience which show how you re used your developer skill in something completely different.

I know that my switch cannot be based only on this but your examples might help me choosing my next path. Thank you !
