Last month a company brought a to our school for a technology day.
It could carry boxes, follow a line on the floor and speak four languages.
A student asked the engineer the obvious question: which jobs will ?
He said machines are good at tasks that and bad at tasks that surprise.
A machine can read a thousand in a minute, however it cannot calm an angry customer.
He also said the safest jobs need hands, difficult decisions and .
A nurse, a cook and a good teacher will still work in twenty years.
My classmates were disappointed, because most of them want an office job with a computer.
The engineer's advice was practical: learn a skill with your hands and learn to work with people.
Then, he said, no will take your job; it will only take your worst hour of the day.
