Great thread,
one of my biggest fear is not to get older or work forever in this field, but to get bypassed by the technology we need to actually make a living from it.
I've been getting more involved in the tech side of design and what is happening right now is pretty close to the invention of the printing press,
Every month my inbox get flooded by faster, smaller, less complex to use IOT platformS, 3D printers, 3D Scanners, sensors, microchip,
Anyone can come with an concept and actually bring it to production in less than a year which is excellent which is excellent, but when you take look in field like web development, anyone can now make a professional looking website with squarespace, wordpress, etc and it won't be long before an algorithm creates website depending on our personal tastes >> https://thegrid.io/
So yeah, I would love to grow old in this field, but I don't think it will sustain me in the 10 or 20 years, The speed in which A.I. and other tech are evolving, is making me thing that "designers" in the future will be a select niche with a special set of skill sets,
