Ask HN: Is anyone seriously considering a career change?

"how long they'll still pay well"

1) But can they pay you in the altcoin of your choice and what altcoin would that be?

2) Then have other disillusioned/perplexed/frustrated tech bros follow your processes and choices including using crypto debit cards.

3) Foster uptake with non-techies.

4) Embed the altcoin into real-world assets (tokenization) including the ones you own.

5) Wait for the altcoin value to explode.

Problem solved - well the problem isn't really financial or "AI" - it's communal and lack of shared vision which propagates wealth inequality.

Yes and no.

I love working with AI and agents.

But I don't know how long this will go, so I'm investing on getting fit again for random jobs like moving atoms.

Or realizing my life's dream: become a lifeguard in public swimming pool or learn the trades to maintain swimming pools. There's a shortage of them where I live and it's enough money to pay for food etc.

I love swimming and watch people happy enjoying the water, it's such good vibes I'd do this forever.

Our life is mostly suffering and grinding through... but people on swimming pools are always smiling, having a good time & having the basic pleasures of enjoying the water and the moment.

I might go to a trade school if I’m laid off, just in case I can’t find a new job easily. But as long as I’m employed I won’t/can’t consider it. Trade schools in my country are usually full time studies.

I have considered physical therapy or massage tech. Anything that requires manipulation by hands because, hopefully, hard to replicate with robots or AI. Other jobs in similar categories are HVAC technicians, electricians, etc. But I am just too old for crawling in attics. PT seems nice though, you work indoors, it is a need, not a luxury want, and certification process will, hopefully, keep it from getting too overcrowded.
