That brought to mind my own experience. I was a Mechanical Engineer for
twenty years and was close to a PhD in Physics. When, out of the
necessity to feed my family during a recession (not this one), I took a
temp job as a programmer and had to do a database conversion. It was great.

On the one hand I was the artist. I created a thing of beauty (working
code) from mind stuff onto a blank canvas.

On the other hand I was Sherlock Holmes. Debugging code was like doing
puzzles -- and getting PAID for it. I would literally let out a cry of
success when I solved a particularly troubling bug.

Both aspects were so great, that I just decided "this was it for me" and
changed careers. Best decision I ever made.
