These are all really terrible jobs. Most of them ought to be automated out of existence in the next 10-20 years.
There's got to be something better we can do then bring about a resurrection of the Victorian-era servant class.
- malandrew 10y agoJob offers are by definition something someone pays others to do because (1) they don't want to do it themselves; and/or (2) it's not an effective use of their time to do it themselves. Yet, those jobs still need to be done. Given both (1) and (2), but especially, (1), we likely will always have jobs that people will consider terrible jobs because someone has to do it and the person needing it done has the money to pay for it to be done. It's great if automation solves some of those needs, but this idea that undesirable jobs simply shouldn't exist strikes me as absurd.
- dTal 10y ago- Registered nurses - Customer service reps - Personal care aides - Nursing assistants - Elementary school teachers - Childcare workers - Teacher assistants Something seems more than a tad dystopian about the idea of automating any of these.
