Plenty of careers just go away. Might as well pick one where you can stay relevant by picking up incremental/adjacent skills continuously.
Maybe we'd get bored though.
Trades in general are fraught with physical perils for the unaware.
The software I write and ship also requires me to be able to grab a socket set, take panels off things, fish out DB9 connectors, run wiring, etc. testing also happens in heavy snow in the winter and high heat in the summer. Oh, lots of travel as well.
I’ve been interested in finding a different job, I’m just worried I would get very bored very quickly, tying together api calls or stitching together libraries.
Which is a serious threat, to be clear. It's just more easily mitigated.
but yes, anecdotally, compared to all of my friends and family, i don't know any profession with those same expectations. to name a few - market researchers, psychologists, primary school teachers.
