text: i want to leave the tech industry. what new career should i choose? i have ten years tech experience developing software, firmware, and hardware. i have spent 7 years dealing with customers in the field. i have an mcse and i am completing my bachelor of business administration at the end of this month. i feel that you should first look at what you really want to do and what industry/field you'd want to be in. like how someone said, "when you take up something you like, you'd never have to work for another day in your life".  know what your passion is first. once you realize that, you'd start finding enough and more avenues in that field for sure.  on the other side, some of the "evergreen" industries you might want to  look at, after your business administration degree (if you are interested) are -bio tech -advertising
