Before I got into programming in college (1996), I was into speech and debate; even had a minimal scholarship in that area. Not that after 22 years I could jump into that field, but the skills I learned there could serve me in other industries.
The various contracts and gigs I've taken throughout the years have exposed me to different industries. Today, I feel good about my exposure to HIPAA impacted fields, and those involving shipping. I could leverage that business knowledge in a non-development role.
On a personal note, I've been involved in Bitcoin since about 2011. I could definitely leverage what I've learned there.
