you asked switching to computing is it a right choice? when i look at my peers who are in mechanical, i think i made the right choie (no choice actually)

i am in my early 30s, if you dun compare to doctors, lawyer.. i think engineers is a decent job.
i believe IT pays better than engineering. i know people in IT (project manager, sales, service delivery) getting over $200K per year after about 13 years of working.
