    If my current employer goes bust and I lose my job (which doesn’t seem unlikely right now), I think I’m out. I’ll have about 1.5 years to reinvent myself somehow. But at this point I can’t really see myself working in tech for the rest of my life.

      Same. If I lose my job I think I’m going to become an electrician instead. That or work on a farm or garden center.

        You’re going to be competing with everyone else that’s deciding to suddenly become an electrician plus all the existing master electricians. Good luck.

        Electrician sounds kind of cool, but the union route (in the US) seems like a pretty serious commitment.
