For me, I am just always learning something new. I have a list of 12 books to read this year and already knocked out two.

The biggest variable to me is if you can justify taking money out of the market to pay for college. For me, it is a non-starter. A completely laughable idea.

Pushing 50, I need one more re-invention. Starting over in something like cybersecurity, I would just be getting beat out by the 25 year younger version of myself. I need an AI hedge basically. Something highly creative, non-standard, not something everyone else is already is doing. The process of trying to figure this out is what I think will lead me there.

My AI hedge is that I don't want to start trying to do this if I find myself completely unemployable with my previous experience and skills pushing 60.

It seems like we either get AGI and I am not employable in 10 years or we don't get AGI and we have such massive malinvestment that the job cutbacks also make me unemployable on my current path.
