>We are headed towards untold abundance with little need for actual human labor. Examples like people who transport things (ie truck drivers, taxi drivers etc…) I've been considering a blog post along the lines of 'Jobs that today's Kids should not consider'. Obviously Truck and taxi drivers are high on the list (along with Pilots, Train drivers, etc.) Perhaps less obvious (to a non techie) is a Family Doctor. For generations being a Doctor has been up there with being a Lawyer as a safe, secure, well paid career to be proud of and hundreds of very bright kids are encouraged to pursue this as a career by their pushy parents. Now though, a Doctor seems top of the list of jobs to be replaced by technology. What does a Doctor actually do? They look at symptoms and make an educated guess (A prognosis) as to what's wrong. The internet, or a machine will be able to do that very shortly. When you get to analysing DNA and blood samples at home, then you don't need a Doctor at all! So what jobs will survive? Ones that require human interaction of creativity. So Surgeons and very highly skilled doctors will remain because they're on the cutting edge of medical science. Drama and sports teachers will remain but perhaps generic, non-interactive subjects like Maths or History, could be better served by online courses? Any other suggestions?
