Change of career

I'm 32. I'm a software engineer.
How do I become a seamstress. Has anyone done this?

lmfao

Sell your PC and get a sewing machine.

I'm not sure many people have made that career jump.

I think the first question should be, why ?

Might be a start?

It seems it would be quite a hard switch. It might tear you apart as a person.

If you are then I'd suggest taking it up as a hobby first, perhaps see if there are any local groups or meetings that you could go along to for some pointers.

Then if you pick it up and take to it and have built up some skill start to tout for businesses in the area... or start yourself?

Hi Jono, what degree did you study at university? I know I'll get some answers mentioning 'software engineering obviously' but he could've something else
