Your story is a lot like mine! Computer science was so hard to turn away from back then.
I don’t think I regret leaving wood working as a career, but I do wonder sometimes. I actually enjoyed it. Except in winter - the shop was always freezing cold, haha. We’d sticker lumber for the kiln in the rain for days or weeks sometimes.
Something I was really into before leaving was the CNC machine. I think I could have enjoyed getting to know and using that thing.
