Ah, well, this might help to explain to said cohort that instead of having a vocational training, they should study to become an Ethical AI scientist.

We should not forget their predicament is in their own making after all. It definitely sleeps better.

The bad news for your approach is that these people still have to be integrated in society, they don't just vanish upon graduating "Ethical AI".

Wasn't his suggestion that you should look for jobs that are actually in demand (someone still has to do physical labor) and don't necessarily require higher education?

Yeah, but you still need some qualifications for those. I don't think you can just apply for a welding position as J. Random, off the street.

Pardon my ignorance, but what does integrated in society actually mean?

If they can't find jobs or fall on hard times because of it, they still need to be helped. Shelter, food, etc.
