Any kind of work that can be done on a computer can be automated with AI. Blue collar is going to become the new white collar. Thankfully I'm in the 4th quarter of my career but if I was just starting out I'd be an electrician or something. If I got laid off now, considering my age and the job market, I have little confidence I'd find another job in tech. To answer your question, I'm an avid RVer so I'm considering a side business doing RV service work. I also have an empty property that I rent out to other RVers periodically. In these times it's good to have multiple streams of income.

12 yrs into my career and my decade younger brother with no degree has equaled my income after 2yrs of starting a company doing soft pressure washing. Ya, i have thought a lot about jumping ship from tech. Feels like it would be such a waste of these talents though. Blows my mind how little I'm worth after all these years.
I know ageism is an issue. That's got to be maddening. I've been pretty modest with my spending so far, and heavily saving, in hopes that i will be equipped to retire early when the corporations decide to treat me that way.
We will all see how this goes

As a homeowner who just had to replace our HVAC system and now has to call a plumber due to a leak, I definitely can see the value in skilled trades! I know someone who switched from product manager to electrician. It seems like it could be very rewarding and satisfying in a way that working in tech might not be.
