I think the exciting thing about this field is that it does keep changing. It's not like lawyer or accountant where you have to look forward to the same drudgery your whole life. Mobile design is the dominant trend now, in five years it could be consumer VR or something, 20 years who knows?
Having said that in 20 years I want to be retired to a small tropical island somewhere doing drugs like John McAfee.

In 20 years I'm gonna be so rich that I will buy a country and become a dictator.

I don't even know how to wrap my mind around answering this, and I'm a pretty imaginative person. I'll be 56 in 20 years. Good grief. I actually hope I'm doing very little professionally with computers at that time. But I think a lot of us in this age range - 30s-40s - are well positioned to be good decision makers as digital and technology gets more complex. We've seen the world before the onslaught of that stuff and it probably will help us make decisions that are rooted in practical thought and simplicity. But we were also young enough to accept and adapt to fast-moving technology, and keep up with it.

Even if there is a place for my skill set, I'll be so spiritually malnourished, jaded and tired of doing things for others that I think whatever I'll be doing will be for myself. Maybe I'll open a burger joint or something like that. Make a few necessary things really really well and the customer keeps their god damn mouth shut and just buys whatever it is. It's a burger. Shut your fucking face and eat the thing. Condiments are over there.

In 20 years? We'll all be posting on some kind of forum. Arguing about the existence of god. Talking about politics as though there is still a right and left wing. Claiming that Apple hasn't put out anything new in two years. Reposting images from other sites. Complaining that Facebook is boring. Wondering why we haven't done anything with ourselves. Waiting for our "real" lives to begin.

Already did it. Reverted back to Simply "freelance interactive designer" and charge 3 times as much. Mucho happy.
