> I'd suggest people learn how to do plumbing and electrical work. It's not work that can be easily automated, and plumbers are often charging more than lawyers. It mostly just that people don't understand what automation is, and especially not many of the self-proclaimed experts. You automate things like electrical work like you "automate" Uber, by making it unskilled. You put all the logic in the terminal, if not the cables, so almost anyone can do it. In a longer time span you might just change the whole wiring to something else, like lower powered dc. That said there is no need to go crazy. We are undergoing a second industrial revolution with information instead of energy, but overall the same rules apply. If we just make things better for people we will be alright.
