Have you tried free lancing? People say that if you are good you can make a lot of money

I think their referring more to making small sites. I've sort of pidgeon holed myself into working with certain corporate bits and pieces but not really throwing together a full site by myself. And I generally work with backend java stuff instead of ui's (haven't played with ui's in literally years).

Been thinking about taking some time off and trying to retrain to see if I can switch roles in the industry. If that doesn't work, might even look into how hard it would be to switch careers (bioinformatics maybe).

When I first got in, I liked it but too many years in corporate America has killed a lot of the love I used to feel for coding... Or maybe it's just that I hate working for big corps. Maybe some time at a small company again would help..
