    If you are considering moving to dev as a career change, may I suggest you try and investigate if you like it first? It's quite tough to get in to the industry unless you really like it, or have a natural aptitude for it. You have to upskill continuously.

    To answer your questions though: 1: both, 2: yes, 3: not going to disclose what I personally earn, but you can probably earn twice the avg. industrial wage after 2-3 years if you are reasonably proficient. EDIT: That may require getting a degree first though, if you do not have a good portfolio of work.
