Jobs Market isChanging

[Wakey]

The older generation has been claiming that the younger one is worthless, for thousands of years.

That is true and many people pretend they were the well rounded individual back then that they are today.

eah, I'm not sure I'd want to be classified as non essential.

To the people we are stupid enough to elect to office we are all nonessential and they are the essential ones. Same with our children and theirs.

The older I get, the better I was.

Looks like I'm a smart, half dead, techno-peasant.

The walking dead are those who hope to retire before they have to learn the technical skills of their changing field (think telephone workers of the 80s who worked with copper wire, and didn't want to learn fiber optics and programming).

The techno peasants are in denial about the changing job scene (think coal miners)

I retrained so many times. Finally, I gave up and learned how to mint money.

Well, that's old school. Not saying you are wrong. I was raised the old school way. Heck I ran with scissors, drank from a garden hose, and talked to strangers, and worked like a mule most of my life.
But today's kids see the world differently. Most of them view hard labor as something to avoid. I saw it as way to make lots of money but todays kids have money making opportunities we never dreamed of. They buy and sell stuff on the internet. They deliver people and things with their own car. And they minimize their expenses for housing and food by living at home. It's a different world today, we have to realize our values are not their values. I didn't raise any kids so I'm not shouldering any of the blame

ok, but have you ever eaten yogurt past it’s spoilage date? LOL

Yeah I understand THAT, but what’s going to happen when they need to do work on their own properties eventually and they didn’t make a fortune typing keys on the cell phone?

Heck I can deliver things with my car, too. That aint nuthin special….

It don’t look good to me. I don’t see us fighting off too many enemies in a war with the bunch we been raising lately.

The good news is there’s still some out there willing to work, but I still think there’s too many concerned with their social media and facial piercings.

Good for you! Some of us are too crotchedy and mean for that, hence the need for robots.

Robots is never having to say you're sorry.

In my work zone, there are 5 people. 4 of use will retire within 1 year of each other in about 5 years. So we told the young guy he's going to be in charge of a robot as more things are automated. And the robot will be in a union, so every time he tells it to do something it will tell him in a computer voice "SORRY, I'M ON BREAK." and then laugh maniacally at him.
