I rolled the window down and spat in their general direction as I cruised past.

Never laughed so hard on a commute before.
Most likely digging holes to lay down and rot in

That's if you get a degree in women's studies. STEM is completely different and the demand is huge.

Das it brah. Of course tradies are required, who else is going to do all the labour / manual work? Until Computer Science brahs can implement robots to do it for us that is.

we actually tried automating some jobs, but it was challenging in the complex technology areas. some products are built custom and so to maintain the robots needed to automate are not feasible at the moment and trying to justify that to management is another story altogether. maybe in the next few years though there might be better programming developments. unfortunately, for trade brah's they are some of the first to go during lay offs and such in my field.
