Man, this shit is going to cause some political instability. Like, yeah, the guy spent multiple years learning a job which is obsoleted a decade later. He might be able to pivot to game design, but that might be obsoleted in yet another decade. Who even knows at this point?
Going into retail or some craftsmanship job, that's probably going to be a safer bet, because robots still have a farther path to go, but those jobs already pay badly today. Even more people looking to do these jobs isn't going to help.
I spent multiple years learning a skillset which put me into an employment position. Of those jobs I had as an employee 20 years ago, almost all of them were mostly done by machine learning systems a decade later. But that was OK, because I kept on learning and moving ahead of the trend, leaving the learned,boring stuff to automation while I learned new things to give my company a competitive advantage.
I don’t think I could ever work a career where the job I was hired for was my employment until I left.
