So, what do you do, and what would you tell a pre teen to be when they grew up?
I formally was a construction project manager with Fortis and The City of Calgary, and now own and operate a small brewery. I think I will tell my nephew to do a trade, work for himself and be as busy as he wants? I don't foresee robots taking that over.
The question really did get me thinking.

It's not what I do, but I would tell my kids to become pharmacists.
Good money, during your rotations you get to travel all over, you get the opportunity to help and consult regular people, the skillset is relatively straightforward (mostly memorization of , whereas doctors have to make judgement calls, business people have to navigate millions of factors, engineers have to sign off on things with critical impact), you'll go to college with relatively intelligent people, you have the choice of working for a private corporation or for a public hospital, you typically have more control over your hours compared to a 9-5, and if you want to take all of the above you can leverage it to grow your own career on the side in whatever field, industry, or skillset appeals to your soul without having to "take work home with you".
What do I do? I work in software and AI will be replacing me within five years lol
