The world will still need ditch diggers.
Excavation of high pressure underground pipelines is mostly machine done, but the last few inches have to be done by hand, since serious damage can occur if a backhoe strikes the pipe. Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile |

In the OP's world, when someone gets laid off, they go home, cry, and starve to death while machines endlessly manufacture stuff no person has money to purchase. It is a classic form of HERP that derp te derpy derp, and is also indicative of a completely irresponsible voter. I'm hoping the OP doesn't vote, and that he will educate himself before the next election. |

If I was back in my late teens-early 20's I would be looking seriously at some type of service industry. Something like electrician, specialty welder or machinist, etc.
With "college" being pushed so hard for the last 30 years, there is now a great demand for people skilled in the types of jobs I mentioned above. |

The jobs will migrate at a reasonable pace. You have no depth of understanding, so you are arguing a series of falsehoods.

Let me take a few examples: 1. Sales - Travel agents - 10% chance.  A 10 percent chance that one of the most automated industries (ever heard of cheapflights, expedia, or travolocity? Ever book a vacation though apple vacations?) becomes really automated?
2. Computers - Computers Programers - 48%. What? Because computers are at least 5 times better at writing their own computer code than booking a vacation? 3. Bus Driver 88% - because we're almost there now, except we haven't started at all. 4. Pilot - 18% even though this job is mostly automated today, it's much more likely we'll automate bus driving, which isn't nearly as economical and has a much lower level of automation today. Made up numbers are made up
