Writing software brings me a lot of joy, but now five years out of school, I'm starting to worry that I've made a huge mistake choosing a career that will keep me chained to a desk, staring at a screen, mostly not speaking with anyone all day.

For me, remote work has made the situation even more unbearable -- all human interaction at work is now through Zoom calls and GitHub issues. It's like pulling teeth getting coworkers to stop by the office.

What tech or tech-adjacent careers are out there that involve a better balance of screen time / physical activity / in-person interactions / impact on my local community?

If you have such a job I'd love to hear more about your experiences :)
