That is indeed interesting. For years, there was talk of manufacturing, trade jobs and "hands-on" work going away. 4 year college degrees were the only answer. Interesting that it might be the opposite in the end.

Lot of the upcoming automation is going to be on the soft skill side. Those with kids now need to reset how they think of trade jobs and hands on work. It should be an option that is considered and certainly not frowned upon.

This is already true even in the absence of AI.
