Similar; been programming for long time, but sometimes have breaks ( was fired, laid off, stuck in small town with small kids, etc).

And I did everything from Taco Bell, to driving big rigs, to laborer doing demolition, to prison guard.

And it just felt so good to not sit at a desk, I think in some ways coding is a very unhealthy lifestyle
