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.
The problem now is the cost of college. I would be working on this same path right now but I can't justify the terrible relative investment that is college in 2025. It is just night and day different compared to the 80s/90s.
The time would be no issue at all for me. I am bored and would love something to do like going to class again.
It is criminal I can't get a psychology degree online for a fraction of a state school price at this point. To have the same degree cost much more than before the internet is just completely insane.
We can figure out as a society how to ban Tiktok but not how to have dirt cheap education like we could. I can't imagine the price we pay in GDP growth for this between the student loan debt and the sub-optimal work force configuration.
