Where should mechanical workers go?

It can be seen from your words that you don't want to live in real life, but it is not enough to be unwilling. Machining is a very traditional but important industry, which is actually highly dependent on technology. Whether you start your own factory or find a job with better pay and superior skills, it is necessary to learn technology. It's not too late to stand at 30. Nowadays, there are no more than 40-year-old people in society who don't study art. Check yourself, do processing, technology, programming, even if it is to choose a knife. Do you have your own unique skills? Are you really irreplaceable? If not, you can only walk around in a strange circle.

In fact, there are elites in every industry and every job. I know many skilled workers in this industry, from the national model workers to the technical pillars of private enterprises, and some who are unwilling to work for others and open their own factories. It's a bit vain to say that they have realized their life value, but in my opinion, through their own efforts, they constantly improve their skills and live the life they want. It's risky to start your own factory and be your own boss. If you have superior skills, your success rate as a boss will be much higher.

In short, study, study, study again, and constantly improve yourself.
