We talked about skilled labor making the big money while the less
skilled of us getting relegated to being the working poor. But there are
jobs out there that the least skilled of us can learn and thus overcome this
gap to a degree. Let us discuss.
Jobs that last forever: Basically, the unskilled will still
have the opportunity to find jobs in the lower end jobs with respect to skills.
Jobs that are often looked down upon, but society thankfully cannot exist
without them. Those jobs include farming, plumbing, auto mechanic and
other repair based jobs. These three job types will last forever.
The reason being is that despite the jobs taking in more technology, the
jobs simply become easier, but the human eliminate so far has yet to be seen as
replaceable. You still need the human touch to harvest most crops, and
even if grown inside special facilities, the food grown there requires human
beings at certain points and times. Plumbing still as of yet is not idiot
proof and thus plumbers still have their jobs. Also, computers still need
fixing along with cars, trucks and other pieces of technology. Sure
mechanics jobs have gotten easier with diagnostic computers to say what is
exactly wrong with say a car, but it takes a human being to replace those parts
in such a way that they will still work. So there you have it. The
less skilled jobs that will be unskilled labors salvation.
Conclusion: Yes I know, these jobs may not be
enough to save all the unskilled members of the labor pool. And no, there
are other jobs they can learn that ultimately require even greater skills so
that these unskilled members of society can achieve a higher standard of
living. But here I just wanted to make a point. That point being
that despite the future looking so grim for a large group of our society, there
is still hope and places where you can advance and thrive in our ever changing
world.
