I've worked in software development for over 25 years and made a decision last year to change careers. It will take a long time and I will reduce my number of days working as a dev as the other career ramps up. Step one is some online training starting this month and then some volunteer work in my new field.

What career are you transitioning to?

Counselling. I won't be a psychologist or anything but there's a need for counselors. At first, I'll be volunteering with a phone and text based crisis support organisation (https://www.lifeline.org.au/). Eventually, I hope to open my own counselling service but that will be a few years down the track.

Curious if you would share what that new career is.
