We are going to have about 100 million low skill people who have no hope of employment.
I see no solution. I frequently see people shrug and say, “we will find new things to do; we always have.”
Will we?
Idle hands are the Devil's Workshop. I am not optimistic for the future.
I don't either.....having worked in a major automotive stamping plant for 35 years, I saw the direct result of robotic automation taking over the jobs of the hourly production workers.
On one hand, the engineering that went into the creation of all the automation in our plant was nothing short of remarkable but the jobs lost was unfortunate.
If I had kid graduating from high school today, I don't know where I would direct him in terms of continued education. I would probably urge him to pursue an apprenticeship in the electrical field as well as night time college courses in electronics.........But I would also warn him about who he serves his apprenticeship with.
Horses never did.
