I am a computer consultant. I also worked as a tool maker back in Detroit. I took advantage of a layoff in 1980 to go back to school and complete my college degree which I had abandoned earlier for the pursuit of music and fun. I could have sat on my ass and complained and protested as a union member but I chose a different path. By the way many of the people I worked with were quite intelligent but they preferred to stay where they were. I don't say that to pass judgement on them but as a statement of fact. You choose the bed you lie in by the decisions you make. Then fate/destiny/karma/luck kick in and the future appears.
Although working in the machine shop was dirty and repetitive at least when it was over it was over. That is never the case in my job now. There ia always the risk of failure and missing deadlines. Vacations get cancelled lives get put on hold. A world of difference.
