As a person married to a retail manager who employs people who work for minimum wage, I have watched many struggle to make ends meet for the last 25 years. Some have sent the bulk of their wages to family in another country. Some are my age and can't afford a doctor, a dentist, or their prescriptions - and now they are contending with gas bills. One woman my age rides the bus and gets up at 4 to make it to work on time and she gets home after 7. These people have had to find their own way to achieve dreams of education; their country is not necessarily that helpful. Some have succeeded and moved on in the fields that their degrees obtained for them. Many do not manage to have a dream of education for themselves, they are working to pay the bills. Mankind does adapt, it is true. Oftentimes, to struggle, difficulties, and hardship.
Robotics and the automated industry are important. So are jobs for people who do not and will not have college careers or opportunities.
