If/when we get to the point where my job is automated out of existence, then so will a large enough categories of jobs that there's going to have to be some sort of universal basic income system in place, so hopefully I'll just be on that and work on one of my creative passions, like writing or music or board game design/development, and supplement that with what I've managed to sock away so far.

I could see myself doing teaching also. Or just become a barista or cook, but I'm not sure I can handle standing for that long at a time anymore, the front of one of my thighs starts tingling and bothering me (when walking it doesn't really have a problem, it's mainly when I stand mostly in place, like when I'm cooking).

I wouldn't mind doing some sort of research but I've don't have any experience with that, outside of research projects in college a couple of decades ago.
