In 1965, when I left school, there was no problem getting a job for someone with no real education there were 100s of jobs available.

In 1995 when my wife left school the factory jobs had started to disappear, she had a smaller range of jobs to select.

In 2022 when our daughter leaves school, there will be far fewer jobs, even flipping burgers will have gone.

As for working online, she might well do that and as it's cheaper to live in Czech than it is to live in the US. She will take a job from an American. That's assuming she doesn't get outpriced by a Philipino or computer.

Automation Globalisation and migration are killing jobs and wages. So those in work will have to pay more to support those out of work. Or we rethink the entire system.
