  1. Education, healthcare, living wage...who wants any of those if it's a handout, if you don't earn them? Honestly.

  2. This is why I'm so happy I landed in my career: Drinking water treatment. A field that is not only impossible to automate, BUT which also spends tens of billions per year TRYING to automate. The equipment market for just water treatment is insane, and the entire industry has virtually limitless growth, because every human needs drinking water, and we're getting more humans all the time, in more places, and innovation is happening every day. Water Treatment operators are in extreme demand as it is, and as the older experienced generation retires that need will explode, along with wages. Thirdly, it's a vital skill for human survival. If the apocalypse was happening and there was an Ark that only a small percentage of people could fit on, you damn well need some water treatment experts, and some wastewater treatment experts, because without water or the ability to treat sewage in a sanitary manner, good luck surviving. No matter how many geniuses, doctors, or engineers you put on your survivor list, they lack the specialized knowledge and experience. I've had the engineer that actually designed and built my water plant say that to me, that he knows how to design the buildings and all that, but he's not a trained operator, that's not his job.

  3.  @LittleBahamutGTR  That's why you get into a trade with a product that NO HUMAN can stop buying, such as drinking water production. Automation is a multi-billion dollar industry in the field, but it's lol-worthy. AI can't do shit yet because honestly a lot of water treatment is operating by feel and intuition based on direct experience. Every plant is unique, all source waters are different and can change by the minute. It would be very hard to completely automate, BUT the biggest safeguard is regulatory: even using humans you cannot do the job without licensure/certification. The best operator in the country can't make a single process change without direct supervision of a licensed operator, because that water is going to potentially millions of people that could die if you fuckup. It's an industry with growth limited only by the expansion of the human population, and every single human is a consumer of our product, and if you stop using it, you die in 3 days. If you try doing it yourself, high likelihood of disease or worse. Big Water is like big tobacco but with an even more addictive product.
