Hello, I googled chef to programmer, and this came up :) I was a corporate chef for the last 11 years at a large software company near Madison, but now I am going to school for web development. I felt exactly the same as you described about the profession, I didn't LOVE it, I knew I could never be a head chef, and I was surrounded by people who were more passionate about it. I'm in my second semester now, but I'm wondering if i can find a way to be truly passionate about work in this field.
I can only speak from my own experience. I currently work for a small software company in Madison, and I'm truly passionate about the work we do. Give it a shot. You never know until you try.

So far I really like ui/ux, do you think there is enough of a market for that around here?
