Count me in this camp. I've changed careers a few times over my life, retiring out of my last working for a defense contractor. I really enjoyed many of those careers, including my time in the Air Force and that last job with that defense contractor as a systems engineer and test director. Once I got out of the fast pace and adrenaline rush and no longer had to do that, the only career I miss was that first one with the Air Force.

There always are things to do that are interesting and that keep us engaged; all that's necessary is that we poke around until we find something. Even just the process of poking around can be engaging.
