my opinion is that the world is changing
and the days of "jobs" being provided to people
is being phased out.
people will need to become entrepreneurs , businessmen & women.
just as slavery and serfdom being abolished
forced people from a guaranteed cradle-to-grave 'job'
into hourly wage where they had to provide for their own selves,
no food or shelter from the lord and master-
you earn your pay and support yourself.
well that too is going away,
at least for many .
robots are part of the problem,
globalization plays a role too
when i was a teen
we joked about becoming gas station attendants,
pumping gas for a living was about all a high school drop-out could expect
but today even that job is gone,
almost all pumps are self-serve automated.
manufacturing and automobile assembly lines are going the same way,
and a robot won't ever demand a vacation or a sick day,
won't go on strike.
so people better learn to start their own business,
the only job security is when you are self-employed.
