as automation increases (and I'm an engineer contributing to that), I see fewer and fewer jobs for those who are not highly skilled professionals. What is to happen to those who cannot do the highly skilled jobs?

 

The government will come up with some way to use them to keep the rest of us in line.

And also note that I include plumbers in highly skilled -- those guys sometimes can earn more than I do -- and they deserve it!

Until the illegal mexicans drive them out of business just like they have all the construction trades.

For sure the illegals have really done a good job of under cutting the contruction trade. I hate to say this, but my son who is a gen contractor in San Diego, has had to start using wet backs as he had no choice, his competitors were all using them and paying 2-5 an hour no benes and he was paying 25 an hour, his bids were, most of the time on the high side, so in order to survive he had to use the wets.
