Like the title says... what would you do, realistically? With the skills learned where could you transfer them into? Attorney-at-law? Asking for a friend
Update: forgot to mention... part of being realistic would be to actually make a living wage of equal or better than where you are now. Like a circus groundskeeper for example.
When I retire in 3 years I would like to do contract programming. I get offers form head hunters for a lot of 30 to 90 day contract work. We bought a nice travel trailer and I thought that I could work part time throughout the year and travel the country.
