What are you pivoting to?

I'm also interested in hearing this.
For me, I'm planning to ride out this industry for another couple years building cash until I can't stand it, then pivot to driving a city bus.
Gardening and plumbing. Driving buses will be solved.

Plumbing seems like a relatively popular AI-proof pivot. If AI really does start taking jobs en masse, then plumbers are going to be plentiful and cheap.
What we really need is a lot more housing. So construction work is a safer pivot. But, construction work is difficult and dangerous and not something everyone can do. Also, society will collapse (apparently) if we ever make housing affordable, so maybe the powers-that-be wont allow an increase in construction work, even if there are plenty of construction workers.
Who knows... interesting times.
