And what do we tell our kids to do?

Seriously? At the moment it looks like the jobs most shielded from automatisation are in care work, especially for the growing number of old people.

Does it matter? If everybody is being paid anyway, they may as well just choose out of interest. My oldest son is off for uni in just over a year and will probably do engineering (he likes physics and math). Now, for the pure enjoyment this is fine, but also here in PT I think it would be better for jobs prospects to do plumbing - it is almost impossible to get a good plumber and I think it is difficult to teach robots.

I am now in tourism and as long as there are guests travelling and no riots here I do not see the end of it - I am happy when I have 1/2 day off in the season.
