Maybe they burnt out from all the reading, and then found a different passion. Not that strange.

Happened to me. My bachelors is in English teaching, but I got so burned out in college I will go years without reading a single book. When I was in high school, I read a book every week or two and couldn’t get enough. I think it was the atmosphere of being forced to read or teach certain things that held no interest to me and all the essays that amputated the enjoyable aspect of the reading experience for me. I began to have a subconscious distaste for reading at all. I would love to get a passion for reading again.

Yes.

You read that correctly.

To make it even weirder, I offer my IT consulting services to a public library among others.
