Career Change from Tech

Hi!

Was wondering if anyone has changed careers from tech (dev, engineering, mgmt, IT, etc)

Been doing this (web dev) for 5+ yrs and relatively successful. I believe in trying everything and so just becoming "a better tech person" for 40+ yrs doesn't quite sit well with me. I have an MS in Comp Eng btw, just kinda more than burnt out and fed up with tech.

I'm open into discovering more opportunities with the Arts and Business, etc.

However, I acknowledge the pay prob won't be nearly as much as what I could make in a traditional tech career trajectory..

What were your insights recommendations, etc.?
