Dans (dates vs time)

We can't use dans for years in terms of dates, but can we use it for years in terms of time?

E.g.: Je vais travailler dans quatre ans. (I will be working in 4 years)

This question relates to:French lesson "En vs Dans with time (French Prepositions of Time)"

Chris W.C1 Kwiziq Q&A super contributor Correct answer

dans + time = a specified time in the future.
en + year/month = in that year/month
