I remember reading something similar on quora who had great pride and confidence on their knowledge and skill. He/she had office friend who had similar thoughts. One day his friend dies. His office gets informed regarding this person's death. They held two minutes silence to grieve. Within few minutes HR posted that position open. Within few days that post was filled.
The author of that post recognised what skills he had he would be replaced like a cog in a machine. This person has a post doctoral degree along with more qualification.
The fact that you associate knowledge and skill to just one job and things like job replacement is laugh-worthy. Knowledge is much more than that, skill is much more than that. If I'm a kabaddi player and I don't respect it enough to gain confidence from it, then it is really of no point. You put a lot of your energies in sketching a career for yourself, be it comedy, sport or business. If that doesn't make you feel empowered, then that is that individual's choice, Idc. 
P. s. Of course, if you die, you die. What kind of idealistic world are we living in where the dead are respected by keeping their posts empty. Things you read on IF 😆
Heck you die and even your loved ones move on to lead their own lives.
