That's because construction work or blue collar jobs aren't treated with respect. Lawyers, Engineers, Scientists are respected and their jobs carry social status. The jobs of blue collar people are looked down upon. If it wasn't for construction workers there would be no schools, buildings, airports, cities etc. They are the people who built modern civilization.

Oh I must've gotten it mixed up. Do you remember his approval rating?

I don't think any job is safe. At some point technology can do everything humans do. It's really just a matter of time.

If dropping what your doing to learn a trade is shortsighted then what else should one learn that wouldn't be shortsighted?

Robots from Boston dynamics are good at doing acrobatics but they can't do blue collar jobs yet. Maybe one day.

You're right that there will be a point when money as a means of transaction of value won't make sense anymore. However I'm referring to the transition period which could last who knows 20 years. You won't get your groceries for free anytime soon. They'll demand cash.
