The global company I work for is actually building a huge manufacturing plant at our campus. It will be a plant staffed by robots.
Robotics will be good for some time. Automation tech, too. But, manufacturing engineering, automation technology, electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, etc. are not sexy college majors like law, medicine, finance or biotech. And as posted above, there’s a vast need for voc-ed provided skills. A blended high school + technical associates degree path would help. And a resurrection of apprenticships.
My bet is that it will be doing a lot of manufacturing while the place that sells you the robots will be doing a lot of employing.
