I'm currently a telecoms engineer in the UK, I'd struggle to come up with something else I'd rather do to be honest. I'm happy where I am, the pay is good and I take satisfaction in repairing faults for our customers.
While CNC is probably going to reduce the need for a lot of machinist skills I can't see grinding necessarily going away any time soonnow that i think of it, the one thing im good at is grinding, and grindy jobs have been disappearing due to automation :c

I know you did not mean it literally. I just like to take things as such to wind people up.yeah, but probably it will go away before im old enough to retire, and i didnt mean grinding literally, i meant it as in a simple task repeated over and over
For most IT and trades these days then you are either reinventing yourself every 10 years (what was hot 10 years ago in IT is pointless today or so saturated as to not bother) or gaining more specialities/crossover; start off either as a basic domestic or industrial electrician running wires and putting in sockets/switches and you can find yourself say doing inspections, installing solar (which might also make you a half decent roofer, assuming you don't outright cross skill -- dual trades can be quite lucrative as everybody likes not having to call another person in to sort out the previous one's mess), or rewinding motors/transformers on the industrial side, or speccing out new buildings/workshops (ask your average architect about phase balancing and they will probably think you mean project management, which is another skill you might pick up), or repairing say a big industrial furnace... All of that while nominally having not left the basic umbrella, to say nothing of new tech coming online. If you get bored during that working for someone else then it is almost the default to go work by yourself, or maybe start a shop, which also means you get to play businessman.None really - I would like being an electrician or tech support, but I can't see myself holding any single position for multiple years, I feel like it would be too boring
Either game design or game development
I would love to work on cars and motorcycles. Especially with all good tools in a nice environment to make my cars great again. I delivered my car this morning for it's yearly MOT. It passed and now it's getting new oil/filter/plugs etc. I could do all this myself but I lack the tools, a garage and time. I also don't know what to do with the old fluids/oil etc. That said, I work as a data-analyst: If I was a mechanic I would definitely be missing excising this part of my brain.
