We have massively overallocated our youth to roles like software engineering and medicine - which will be shortly replaced en masse by AI.

In this essay, I propose the working population will reallocate to construction and entertainment.

I've been recommending electrician to young people not aiming for science and engineering degrees.

All that equipment requires massive electrical work, which people still do.

They can go into healthcare, the demand is high and it might be nice for that industry to get flooded in 10-15 yrs, maybe costs might go down .0001%
