very much like air stewardess. there are those that I know who took up degree courses because they know that their shelf life is short. same as the football players. smart ones will start to take up coaching licenses before their playing days are over.
there are many occupations where the shelf life is short e.g. TV stars. having said that, it seems like even technical professionals/engineers these days have a shorter shelf life than before too.

Exactly! I guess that is why we need to continuously reinvent ourselves to extend our shelf life. It is like an old warplane. It needs to be retrofitted with the latest radar system, weapon system, etc. to extend its useful life. When it is finally overtaken by newer warplane, it will either be sold to another country, use as a training aircraft or put in the museum.
