Interesting thread. Just playing devil's advocate,
Are burnout, money issues and ageism NOT issues that people encounter in other careers? I think it's quite common that people dream of doing something else, while underestimating the downside and challenges they would encounter. What is a "good" career for middle aged/elderly workers?
One main advantage I can see with design/dev is that it gets you a set of skills that you can use to pursue other online business. Also the location independent aspect, not being tied down to a 9 to 5 office job could work quite well with middle age/semi-retired lifestyle.
