I completely understand how you feel -I'm in my 40s, and I often find myself questioning what direction to take in this rapidly changing world. On top of that, I'm unsure whether advising my kids to go to university is still the right path for their future.

Everything seems so uncertain, and the pace of technological advancement makes long-term planning feel almost impossible. Your plan to move to a slower-paced area and enjoy the outdoors sounds incredibly grounding - it's something I've been considering myself.



I tell everyone who would listen to me (i.e. not many) that white collar jobs like mine are dead and skilled manual work is the way of the near future, that is until the rise of the robots.


Robots are going to go hand in hand with AI. Pretty sure our problems right now are not with the physical hardware that can far outperform a human already, it’s in the control software.


Robots can only proliferate at the speed of real world logistics and resource management and I think will always be a little difficult.

AI can be anywhere any time with cloud compute.


I advise my kids to stay curious, keep learning, keep wondering, keep discovering. Whether that's through university or some other path.
