Yep. There will be too many people competing for too few jobs, even so-called high demand professional specialities. There are always too many lawyers, and it's not a lawyer joke. We're going to have to reform extreme wealth inequalities and move to UBI and redistribution of wealth, or otherwise there will be a great upheaval and billions will be impoverished and living in favelas in 20 years. Already, there are vastly undercounted millions of homeless and functionally homeless people in America, a supposed first-world countries. To maintain a humane standard of living for all people requires recapturing trillions the ultrarich have taken for themselves.

There is no "system" nor "reform" that can magically fix a problem that is fundamentally within the modern human soul. Avarice has become the defining characteristic of most people and that reflects in the culture. If you look with the same critical eyes that you use on the government, big businesses and ultra-rich, and use those critical eyes on people near you including family and friends, then you will be quite uncomfortable.
