I think you along with some others in this thread are looking at the real individualistic view - "If I go from high paying to low paying, I'm in trouble". Think about how the economy may react along with it. If companies are no longer paying these high salaries, perhaps products and services go down and despite earning less $, your purchasing power stays the same or even grows!

Of course lots of speculation, but I am not particularly worried by the fields we can wipe out in future with automation and AI.

There is endless amounts of cheaply produced slop in stores today. By and by I don't give a fuck about affording those kinds of goods. I care about being able to afford a home, having access to good healthcare, being able to travel, etc. These are the kinds of goods and services that I doubt will come down significantly in price.
