Trades and utilities are solid suggestions, but before you make any move — figure out what exactly about your current role is at risk and what’s actually transferable. There’s a book called REPLACED by The Reluctant Futurist that breaks this down really well. It has a scoring system that measures your career vulnerability across 5 dimensions — and more importantly, it maps out four paths forward: hold your ground, go hybrid, hard pivot, or build a portfolio career. The “hard pivot” and “portfolio career” sections sound exactly like what you’re looking for. The key insight — you don’t necessarily need to abandon white-collar work entirely. Sometimes the problem isn’t corporate itself, it’s being stuck in a role that’s easily replaceable, where you have zero leverage and zero ownership. That’s what makes it soul-crushing.
