I have a buddy who is a lab tech at a university. He is under-paid and under appreciated.

He has a masters in physics. Really smart guy!

I keep telling him: The math background he has would be a huge asset in CS. He should change careers!

He is very skeptical. He feels like he is too old to start( 35 ).

At the end of the day, if he doesn't want to change that is his business, and I don't want to badger him. I just feel like he would be great as a ML/Data engineer.




He'd be fine at anything non-specialized in tech. Regular application programming is so much easier than physics that it's laughable.
