Other career options for Software Engineers?

There are some many different industries in which you can apply your technical skills, why not think inside the box?
That said, an example of a programmer turned analytic philosopher: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manuel_De_Landa.
And a great paper by a programmer turned social scientist: http://polaris.gseis.ucla.edu/pagre/critical.html.

Research, engineering, teaching. Personally, every software engineer I've worked with are all still software engineers.
I know a software engineer that became an immensely successful actuary with minimal additional education.
Does anyone have ideas on careers that would be open to someone who is good at software? Any personal stories of making a switch?
