I have one child training to be a pastor and one training to be a doctor. Neither will be replaced by robots any time soon

And if the congregation has no jobs and no money for the collection plate, how will your pastor live?

Your son the doctor might still have a job, but might not be paid all that much, again because it will probably be the state who pays him because being out of work, most people will be on the dole.

And anyway, some in the medical profession are already having their services replaced by robots.

The first to go will be dental hygienists, the demise of which profession is already showing up on endangered profession lists.

John Stossel was telling us that technology is good last night on his show. Technology changes have offered people more occupations than were available in the past. This argument comes up from time to time when technology of the future and its impact on employment is discussed. There was always some chance to obtain routine work in the past. Stossel and the others tell us not worry about the future for our kids and grandkids. Anyone who has an occupation will have to have a specific skill set. In the future less-skilled people will be displaced from the workforce for some period of time and maybe they will be able to retrain themselves. Overall less jobs will be available for people.
