Have you considered becoming a truck driver? That's precisely what I would do if I left tech.

  I hate driving and am not very good at it regardless.

    Perhaps you could become a farmer on WWOOF and travel around the world.

    Maybe work retail in a domain you are knowledgeable in? I loved being able to help people with their projects when I worked at Lowe's. The pay did suck though.

  That seems like an industry at high risk of automation though. Looks like the conversion to self-driving trucks might get started as early as 2024[1].

    Probably another decade until it makes a real impact though. There will be a gental ramp up as part of the testing and transition. It won't be until the courts have ironed out the legal aspects that it will be in full scale adoption, which will take years.
