After so many years of growth and development in any industry, you have to change and shift to stay relevant.
A big part of being relevant is being interested. If you aren't relevant or interested, you aren't of any value in that particular niche of that particular industry.
What I chose to do when faced with this was to move into an adjacent field where my skills were applicable and relevant to the new and interesting challenge.
When the situation arose yet again, I took the knowledge gained by having applied my skills in new ways to focus on applying them in a constant state of change to help others in different niches.
It's all one big spiral staircase of shark's teeth, where there is no shortage of change, growth or people willing to take your place.
