I think OP is more referring to art/music/theater careers are low paying, so people need some other form of income to sustain themselves. In very well may be the same for programming and medical - we really don't know. However, I am optimistic that with AI automation happening "everywhere" (wherever it can generate profit), we'll see culture shift to appreciating more human-only things. Singing can be AI generated, but we're still impressed by someone being able to harmonize and hit notes; Physical sports are still too chaotic for AI to effectively compete at human levels, so audiences will flock to watch humans. This line of reasoning actually warmed me up to people that are live-streaming as a career. They opened their lives to be experienced by others, another element that AI (I believe) will struggle to genuinely replicate because the audience will want living people. Similar to the popularity (and profitability) of reality shows (even dramatized ones) - you see highlights of someone "living".
