There will simply be too many menial jobs made obsolete for blue collar workers to step up into supervision/technician roles

I think you're thinking about this backwards. AI will claim professional jobs like accountants and lawyers LONG before it affects hairdressers and plumbers.

This is partly because robotics and computation are orthogonal. We have fast progress in computation, but robotic progress is much slower at the scale of human hands.
