Oh, that's another thought that keeps me up at night: what is everyone going to be doing for a living 5-20 years from now? There are so many unknowns and all of the conceptual jobs we're used to are slowly inching their way on "going away" lists. And at the same time, there is so much training to do for these unknowns and so little time and money with which to accomplish it.
Vaporware isn't a sustainable living and no one can sit there and tell me that whoever instituted this lousy system to begin with gave one iota or care to that concept.
