>>7939984yeah, no. considering the amount of DEBT one accumulates starting from his early life, the costs of living related to income and the burden on the main procurer of the house, no, you cant just change careers. There a scarcity of jobs and job diversity, due to the constant export of industry towards Asia and the import of foreigners. This scarcity means heavy competition in most fields, therefore you're going to be viable in at most one nieche. Not to mention the amount of time one dedicates to a job renders you without time or energy for preparation of another career. Also you're factually wrong, you can check life resumes of famous people in the 60s or 50s and you can see a lot of them had a very colourful and diverse past of trades. Thats the case with many people in those times. Todays corporate monopoly does not suit such a lifestyle.
As for me, also kind of sad about the job prospects. Im a software developer but it seems most offers come from fintech, porn industry software or gambling platforms.
