The employment pool trend definitely leans in favor of replacing skilled labor with unskilled labor. A highly skilled worker with a difficult to replace skillset is able to secure a good salary, benefits and job security. While workers who are easy to replace and have no specialized skills typically have none of those things.
With recent studies concluding as much as 50% of existing jobs may be vulnerable to automation, it may be better for youth to be encouraged to abandon traditional notions of job security and consider other alternative options. Businessman may need be better informed and more knowledgeable than minimum wage workers. That type of knowledge base could be desperately needed for society to function properly given recent trends where the media and news can't be trusted to inform or educate people as to which policies are best for them.
In the 1950s united states a typical worker could buy a new house, new car and support his wife without her having to work. More than 50 years later, things are very different. The idea of having a job being enough to support a family and live well may be something that will be abandoned in time as wages flatline against cost of living, which is growing at a quick and steady pace.

I definitely think kids should be taught to be independents and do there own thing as opposed to becoming another life long worker slave. Unfortunately, schools basically train kids to be future workers, in the west anyhow.

We all have that thought why do Chinese people actually make it in the business world. The reason apparently is that at an early age, their parents are conditioning the minds of their children to do business in the hopes that they will actually be heirs to their family business.
In your opinion, should we be teaching them the same or teaching them to be successful employees for the sake of climbing up the economic ladder?
