So, how do we work until our 70s?

"Don't count on social security, kid." Got it. "Pension? No. 401k." Arighty, then. "You'll have to work till you drop." Fine.

Ok, but that doesn't really seem possible anymore. With:

  • Technology and especially AI cutting the total number of jobs,
  • blue collar work being too hard in our 70s,
  • the apparent end of stable-for-life government jobs,
  • and many industries overtly age-discriminating (tech is tough in your 40s, I cannot immagine doing it in my 70s)

What sort of job can we look forward to in the next 20 years? I doubt that even Walmart greeter will still be around.
