I agree it's impossible to predict what the jobs of the future will entail long term, however, one problem we're going to face is how fast we can replace jobs.
For example we're staring in the face of a revolution in the transportation sector, almost a million Canadians are employed in the sector or over 5% of the total work force, within the decade most of those people could be replaced by automated systems. It's going to be hard to find new jobs for all those people and even then even harder to train them for those jobs.
