I've met many who did:

One guy who was so into classical piano that he went back to grad school and got his degree in music. Now he gives lessons, last I heard.

Another guy who became a piano tuner. There's good steady, if not spectacular money in that.

Two people who became teachers or teachers' aides. The teacher had a fairly unhappy experience, while the teachers' aide said it was the best job he ever had.

One of the Xerox Star 6-person functional spec team (the one who's completely disappeared and no one knows where he is) became a homeopathic doctor.

Edit: another guy became a kitchen cabinet installer.
