the only certainty in life is change

if you think you can do the same thing from age 25 to age 60 and make a good living, then you deserve to starve and leave no offspring anyways

>automation of trivial jobs will not create new jobs
brainlet spotted, just like how the internet has destroyed a bunch of jobs, not created new jobs?
or like the cotton gin? or the automobile? like how no new jobs ever replaced chimney sweeps or elevator attendants?

you wont regret doing something stupid later in life as much youll regret not doing anything at all
