I'm not that old (28), but I already see myself doing "the same stuff over and over" in my programming jobs.
It's not that bad yet, but I think this would be a problem in my mid-thirties.
I've been seriously thinking about going back to school, and specializing in something entirely new (computer vision), as I'm already learning about it on my own.
Learning something new would be exciting, but the idea of starting over, being an "intern" again, then _maybe_ qualified if everything pans out is frightening.
As anyone here changed their technical career for another different technical career, instead of going the management route ?
