Programming professionally

I became a real pilot in August. A few hundred more hours and I will be a legal commercial pilot. It will be fun.

A contractor I replaced left professional development because he got burned out of it. I'm wondering what the signs are.
When u look at the screen and all you see are chicken tracks it's probably time to take a break

Thanks guys. Your responses have been the usual mix of honesty and humor I've come to enjoy here on CP.

Who says I do now. Perhaps I program amateurishly, or perhaps I do it rakishly. To answer your question, I'd do something else. I'd possibly put more effort into music than I have the time to do now. If I had the time, I'd love to get a PhD in Astrophysics.
Deja View - the feeling that you've seen this post before.
music and astrophysics, are you Brian May ?

My first choice would be to become a teacher. The few times I've filled that role, I've really enjoyed it. My second option would be technical writer. I'm reasonably good at it, and like it enough that I could do it for a living. It's a little difficult to imagine circumstances that would render my programming skills unemployable and yet would leave the rest of my faculties intact.
