I'm making a career transition into writing full-time and wrote a long post for FreeCodeCamp on alternative career paths for devs recently: freecodecamp.org/news/alternative-...

Too many people think careers have to be this set path of X1 => X2 => X3, but you can make lateral movements to increase your skill surface area and try new things.

Having a basis in technology just gives you a solid way to bring in income even if you don't do it full-time.
