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.
