[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’d be very cautious in attending college at this point. Inexpensive/in state schools only. Whatever you can afford without massive loans. No majoring in: computer science, accounting, and absolutely nothing writing/liberal arts-related. But it seems that health care majors, education, and some engineering is safer.

But really the best bet seems to be going into a career/trade or more blue collar field. It still requires specialized education and training. Even for factory jobs. But it seems like we’re going to just say that robots can write our news articles and our books, do our taxes, analyze data, etc. because computing power is cheap - but they can’t do electrical or plumbing work, or fix a car engine, or do the physical labor of attending to patients at a hospital, or do the whole assembly of a car at a big auto factory. Honestly the safest bet if a kid can handle it seems to be joining the military … [/quote]

Even military is changing to drones and AI. Not long before robot soldiers. [/quote]

Drones yes, absolutely the wave of the future. Robot soldiers … I can’t see it anytime soon. We all thought automation would come to factory and manual labor type jobs and that the white collar workers would be perfectly safe. Meanwhile, the exact opposite has happened … sadly. [/quote]
