Funny thing is that we are always in time to change. I’m still considering to work as an editor for scientific journals after my PhD. I like the flexibility of that job and it seems to give more stability. On the negative note I would lose the possibility to discover something new with my work.
I have changed directions more than once: going from chemistry to engineering where I realized that the broader skills and abilities are the key point. You can learn the technical parts with work but the skills are the ultimate benefit to you.
I have now shifted to a leadership role so I take a more strategic view rather than doing day to day research. I find this a natural evolution and a great position to be in

I would likely be an R&D engineer.

In that case I would like to choose Informatin Technology (IT) :).

Reason: you can do IT tasks by sitting anywhere in the world.

I find physics really interesting. I am obsessed by the work being doing at CERN (https://home.cern/about) If I could do something related to that
