Hedge it.
Pick one hobby that you absolutely love to do, that isn't too expensive to continue, you can learn, enjoy and while it may not pay in "this world", it may pay and be useful in the "coming world". Example: herbalist / healer (you can start by learning off free ebooks, web sites, youtube videos, doing your own tinctures and experimenting on yourself and learning basics).
Pick one job you do NOT hate to do, but enjoy, and which most people are too lazy/dumb/afraid to do, and which is in rising demand in this world and more likely in the coming world. Example (not necessarily correct/true, hence the hedging): an electronics/mechanics handyman/electrician/fixer (knows how to repair computers, phones, electricity utilities, even electromechanical devices). Any professional career path that combines basic skills of repair trouble shooting, electrician skills and electronics practical skills would be a start for this. Then just start immediately offering your services locally, learn the trade, build your client base, don't be a slave to a one employer. You learn the best by doing.
Remember, nobody knows the future. Do not put all your eggs in one basket. Be ready for a long and bumpy transition.
