I don't know. Not everyone can just adjust to doing something else. E.g. you mentioned transitioning to sales, managemnt or tech. For sales you have to like to sell (and have a knack for it), it's not for everyone. Management? Not everyone can go into management, who do you manage if the people that were managed are gone? Thus, automation is also coming for the middle-management. Tech? Tech is too complicated for many people to get into. Additionally, if it's the only place in the sunlight that's left, it might become crowded as well.
- mywittyname 6y agoSure, but hopefully you're capable of doing something else. Most knowledge workers need to upskill over their career. Whether you're a mechanical engineer or an accountant, there's a very good chance that your job looks different today than it did in 2011 or 2001 (or, if you're old enough, 1991). It's much easier for a knowledge worker to learn one new skill and combine it with their other existing skills, and be able to leverage that into a new career.
