I knew a guy who left Detroit at 30 to install A/C systems in Florida, made good money but by 40 he was tired of crawling around hot attics, so he went back to school, learned to code and went back to Detroit to work software instead of the factory floors… he did alright, didn’t set the world on fire, but also didn’t retire to an early grave with health problems from breathing fiberglass in 130 degree confined spaces.
