The Future
China is Building a Robot Army of Model Workers
Congratulations California! You will soon see this in just about every minimum wage job. I would say starting with your fast food, the front counter person will be replaced with a paying Kiosk. Fast food has one of the highest turn overs in employees, so why train someone for a week only to have them leave a month later to go and train someone else, when that person can be replaced with a touch screen.I read an article where someone is working on a robot chef to replace the cooks as well, so soon the only person will be a janitor and someone who takes the cash, but wait, we are moving away from cash more and more. You can even pay with your phone now. I predict that in ten years, you will have no human interaction in fast food. Your welcome, poor people and teenagers. Your entry level job into the workforce no longer exists.

Robot maintenance technician is the job of the future. But anyone who can be replaced by a touchscreen certainly doesn't possess the mental wattage to get through the technical and mathematics courses required for such a certification. Jobs for art majors are getting to be pretty thin on the ground. They are non-technical, physical weaklings with a gross sense of entitlement. Not much demand for that in the marketplace.

There seems to be plenty of positions available in the Federal bureaucracy for those people.. with fantastic benefits and no absolutely productive behavior required! For every robot maintenance technician, there will probably be 5 regulatory agents hired to make sure that they have a properly diverse, unionized, taxed and regulated work environment.
