    Learn. New. Skillsets.

I've been in my (white collar) career for over ten years, and I couldn't imagine learning a new skillset. But I mostly agree with you. Instead of learning a new trade, learn how to spin past experience into marketable experience in a different industry.

I worry a little about automation long term. But I hope to be the one driving the automation bus rather than the one run over by it. I suspect existing artificial intelligence could do much of my job, just not cost effectively.
