Be the expensive labor.

Learn to program.

Automate your own job.

Right now I automate 500k USD per year, compounding. I make $150k.

I'm considering to starting my own company and selling this service. I have a bit of experience in side businesses and my wife's company.

The only thing stopping me is the Victorian Dream of doing independent Science. Maybe I'll do that instead.

Yeah much better to spend your days doing labor (and getting exploited).

The cost of living has collapsed since the 1950s due to robots. Middle class people are retiring in their 30s after only a decade or 2 of work.

But "noo I want rich people to need me to be their wage slaves"

Let them own the means of production and fly away to space on private flights. I'll be over here doing the Victorian Dream of playing with Science in my new spare time.
