Back around 2004, outsourcing was killing jobs furiously, and people wondered if there would be any jobs left. There was a Business Week article "Where are the Jobs?". Well, the link is dead and it's not at the archive, so the PDF I saved came in handy (warning on link and article rot) [0]. My "answer" at the time was that FAB would allow everyone in the boonies (as I drove down I-5 in the middle of absolute **** nowhere) to create bespoke products that have personal, local, or group value. I hear the call again for average Joe's to become artisans. I have no answer on the tip of my tongue, other than my service experience as an Electrician's Mate (with a physics degree, but that's another story) and until robots can wire homes, transmission lines, substations and data centers, right now, I tell all the young people looking for work to become electricians. And I'm going to stop right here, because going any further needs some thinking through. [0] https://pastebin.com/raw/Fi5YSV4a https://pastebin.com/raw/Fi5YSV4a (text)
