What jobs are in demand, or are about to be?

[Anonymous No.23339163]

I keep hearing "Truck drivers are in demand!" but I don't believe it.

Tell me, what jobs are in demand? I don't give a fuck about computers or coding so those jobs can eat shit.

Anything else? Should I just get my truck licence?

Right, so one of the most secure industries in the world (delivery of physical items) and it's during one of the most disruptive "events" (corona) and you can't see how truck drivers aren't going to be in demand ?

You're a fucking idiot and wouldn't know what to do with a million dollars if it bit you in the fucking face.

Yea, just get your CDL and stop trying to use your non existent brainstem.

Are u retarded. Automation Will make it absolete soon

>soon
for me that means about three years. if you take a month or 3 months to get certified to drive a truck that's still worth it.
automated long haul truck driving is more like 10/20 years away. and then there's the issue of driving these things in cities which needs to be independently approved by each municipality.
automation is a NEET joke.

truck drivers arent going anywhere anytime soon. its gonna be at least another 15 years before self driving cars get to the point that they can go commercial, and even after that itll be years of legislation and red tape.

and then all of a sudden an event accelerating progress towards automation occurred.

this was 4 years ago: https://www.wired.com/2016/10/ubers-self-driving-truck-makes-first-delivery-50000-beers/

did you see the Defense Department's release about 20 technologies America will be embracing to stay competitive?

Truck drivers are in demand because its a field where getting paid by the mile, allows them to fuck you on the mandatory federal minimum wage when your waiting for the fuckers to unload your truck. But automation for this industry is real, considering most trucking companies are full of scumbag management. Your best bet is to get into package deliver. Ups has good unions, but with that means constant fight between company and union

that woman who was run over by an automated uber car set things back five years. hit a kid and it sends it back 10 years, even though arguably the robot cars would be safer and result in less fatalities than human drivers on average.

If trains are not automated then trucks are not going to be automated , lot's of opportunities for sensor failures while on trains you only have going foward and stoping and are still not automated.

Imagine the ammount of things needed to be tracked with a truck, one wheel get's broken and you are fucked.

It took 8 years for smartphones to take over. I Think in terms of driverless cars you have to look to history and see how long it took cars to replace horses. and that was way before the regulatory happy bureaucracy of today. There's not even any real pilot programs in the wild.

>In the US, between 1920 and 1939, depending on the area. It took about 23 years to fully replace the cheap buggy, starting from when the Model T was made in volume in 1916, to the end of the Great Depression in 1939, (which had hurt new car sales and gas sales).
>Long answer: The answer depends on whether you are talking city or country. In the cities, cars took over shortly after Henry Ford, so cars dominated by about 1920. Many cities banned horses, because of manure and dead animals left in the road. (The stench alone was awful). In the countryside, they dominated until about 1939 when the Depression ended. (Exception: the Amish, who still drive them in small numbers today).
