like water , most eventually seek there own level and end up finding other things to do . most of the robots today are replacing lower paid workers .
when you have no particular skill set that is of much demand it isn't so hard to switch gears in to something else. sorry i don't buy in to this automation is killing us crap . .
humans will adapt . they always have .
jowey , my old company has the same issues , finding employees .
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
these are jobs we have available right now at my old company . we don't build robots . we feed an entire industry parts that they use in the automation industry so we are only at the top of the food chain and just supply components . this is only a partial list of the demand there is in just our companies that need to be filled ..
