Robots will be welding in 10 years, learn to program them. Plenty of online resources to get started. In the meantime, look for a laptop / desktop deployment job. It's entry level IT employment, and will get your foot in the door.
Robots will be welding NEW construction but not repair.
Repair and maintenance fields are long term human only.
Electrician, plumber, etc.
This is the answer I give people when they say that!
Robots have been welding in factories for decades. When I was doing iron work the only welders up on the steel were human. No way to get a machine in place. Plumbers and electricians who service existing residential customers will never be out of work.
Especially structural steel or dies
I AM BIG BRAIN MAN. I KNOW THINGS AND STUFF.
Also some things like shipyards are difficult to automate. I reckon it'll be a good 10 or 20 years before robots can reliably and safely navigate a construction site.
Nah I've seen articles where metal construction workers will be the least affected by automation and robots taking jobs. You would need a robot capable of doing like 15 different complex activities.
Coming for that market too. You may be the person deploying the robot, but I doubt that will pay a living wage. Same for electrician and plumber. It'll use machine learning to look at the problem and fix it in most cases. Sure, there will still need to be some human work in some rare cases.
We as a planet, rally, really, need to plan for when there isn't enough "work" to sustain wages.
You don't have a fucking clue what entails being an electrician or plumber if you think there's going to be "service call robots" AND the need for humans to earn an income simultaneously
I dont disagree as a concept, but computers will be programming computers FAR SOONER than they will be fixing plumbing leaks. I don't think programming is a long term solution. I think it is a boom and bust industry over the next 10 to 15 years.
Existing structure repair will need human interaction far more than future programming needs will.
But you're right about planning for a non work society in general
Home repair and remodeling can not be done by a robot, at least not in the next 30 years.
Whats to plan? print and give away fiat "money".. sit back and watch shit-skins breed like rats (while childless white women post selfies and virtue signal from their full-time CAREER/Office)
Oh wait.. that's not the plan. that's real life
Bullshit. They have robot welders now and it takes a real welder to run them. You can't really get a robot to function outside in the field. I've run automatic welding machines but a machine is only good in very controlled situations. What happens when the fit up is nonstandard? Robot welding fails. They tried this in one factory I worked at and we all laughed when it failed. Eventually they gave up and shoved it into a corner to gather dust. Welding is an art.
Now, give it 10 years.
They said the same thing to me twenty years ago.
Learn to program is absolutely terrible advice. At least until the illegal Visa programs are scrapped. Trump moved us in thre right direction. Biden undid it.
There is a sea of entry level coders and dots are destroying labor rates.
I would only recommend programing if you are interested in it AND have some natural talent for it. If you start and find it difficult and confusing, it's probably not for you.
Thank you. Great idea. When you say "laptop/desktop deployment" is that just setting up computers for people/businesses?
Yup, EASY, Good introduction to IT. You'll probably work alongside helpdesk persons and admins. Proper ones will want to train you if you show initiative. How I got my start many years ago.
Well considering that my last job was working at a help desk, that could be a good thing. Any suggestions on places to look? The only places I can think of that would hire for a position like that are retail places like Best Buy or big companies that need IT people for their employees.
NOPE. Robots are retards.
