Have you considered consulting? Could be a good way to explore other industries and geographies while making use of the skills you have today. I'm sure many people would want to hire you or work with you.

Lucrative financially or emotionally/spiritually?
Usually people pay money so someone does things that few people would do of their own accord.

it seems that all human skills will be absorbed and serve as reference material for AI generation; I think the best approach is either to position oneself to control that process or to move into an industry where AI can be leveraged to drastically boost productivity.
