Non degree jobs may stick around longer than office jobs. Even if ai/robotics gets super good, it’s still going to cost a lot to replace human labor. So, any labor-focused work may persist longer.

Pros: we won’t have as much work

Cons: we won’t have as much work

But I’m really not sure. In the current system this just leads to less employment and consistently higher prices. Two things you don’t want in your society.

I imagine we may have a shift to skilled hand labor jobs - trade school type things.

On the other end of the spectrum we’ll have more highly talented people who get paid well to guide our primitive ai, until they too get replaced.

The immediate time frame of 2-4 years is probably a great opportunity for startup founders who find ways to make something useful of Ai tools with combination of some other thing. Creator economy may boom more as people will have the means to do a lot more for a lot less. These don’t require degrees.

I’m the long term this doesn’t seem sustainable though, and something is going to happen - I’m not sure what.
