Plumbing seems like a relatively popular AI-proof pivot. If AI really does start taking jobs en masse, then plumbers are going to be plentiful and cheap.
What we really need is a lot more housing. So construction work is a safer pivot. But, construction work is difficult and dangerous and not something everyone can do. Also, society will collapse (apparently) if we ever make housing affordable, so maybe the powers-that-be wont allow an increase in construction work, even if there are plenty of construction workers.
I'm also interested in hearing this.
For me, I'm planning to ride out this industry for another couple years building cash until I can't stand it, then pivot to driving a city bus.
Gardening and plumbing. Driving buses will be solved.

Who knows... interesting times.

You seem to be counting on Waymo not obsoleting that occupation. ;)
