<human>: Can you provide a brief overview of the text?

If so, how did it work out?  Did you stick with the trade, or eventually come back to IT?

I'm a 29 year old software developer, and have been working with computers in some form for around 8 years.  I've been at my current development job for just over 3 years.

I love computers, and I love programming.  Programming used to be a hobby, something I did at home, on my own time, simply because I enjoyed doing it.  Now, I have no ambition to do anything on my computer at home after work short of mindlessly browsing the internet.  I've lost my hobby, I'm not terribly satisfied at work, and for the past few months I've been seriously thinking about changing careers.

The thought of working with my hands, coming home physically tired instead of mentally stressed and having computers go back to a hobby instead of a chore is very appealing to me.  Of course, the grass always looks greener on the other side, and I realize that it's not like finding another job necessarily going to be any better than what I have now; if I end up hating a physical job, I might be more unhappy than I am now.

I know the feeling of "I work in IT and now I hate computers" is not a unique one, so there must be other redditors out there who've felt the same, and probably a few who've made the leap.  If you're one of them, how did it work out?  Did getting your hobby back make you happy?  Did not having an office job make you miserable?  Tell me your stories, please?
<bot>: I work in IT, now I hate computers.  I want to work a trade and get my hobby back.  If you've been in my shoes, please tell me your stories...
