Charles: A mechanic still needs to know quite a bit about technology... at least that of an engine, etc. You missed the fact that there are now thousands and thousands of engineers who weren't here before the gas engine.

I realize that technology always changes... I'm not saying people will stop working; I'm saying the work needs will move more and more from hard labor and hand calculations/paperwork to technologists continuously advancing that technology further. A few hundred years ago all you needed to know was how to plant crops and herd the cattle. Now that we have tractors and combines, etc... the need for such work is greatly reduced. Then we moved into blue collar jobs during the industrial revolution. Now that much of that is automated via machinery and robotics, those workers are being displaced by engineers and white collar positions. Now we're in the next phase. Even the Dept of Labor predicts that 34% of the new jobs will require a bachelors or more advanced degrees by 2005, vs. 21% for 1994. Enough on this... I thought everyone realized this stuff. Oh well...
