40 old me looking at a screen with SSMS and Azure: Instead of an engineer like my father I should have been a tailor like my mom... Or a carpenter...
It's never too late to enter carpentry. I know quite a few programmers who do carpentry as their main hobby. Something about the math and the amount of careful planning is highly transferrable, I guess.
Whenever I try building something with wood, I get so frustrated that it's not version controlled. In software, I can fearlessly try dumb stuff because I can just roll it back if it didn't work.
3D printing and CAD may be the hobby for you then!
