Like what??? Better than McDonalds??? :-) Admittedly McDonalds is not ideal 
but what would you offer them?

After industry becomes automated there will be nothing left in the 
employment world except "service" type jobs, and doctors, and engineers, 
and programmers. Does this mean that we should not automate? I think the 
consequences of not automating are fairly obvious.
