How many “teachers” are teaching because they no longer work in the field? I came across ONE teacher in my lifetime that taught because they wanted to teach what they know because they succeeded in making a lifetimes money off it, and don’t need to work in their field, or work at all for that matter. MANY teachers, have lost their jobs, been outsourced, replaced, or for whatever reason and cling to their “skills and knowledge” by taking a teaching position and passing along information. Sad but true. Furthermore, how many of them stand there and talk/teach instead of using technology, the same technology that took their first job in the first place! Not many again. Software and simple inputs from a person can and will take jobs from your “supply chain management” job market. > > NO skills are irreplaceable. NONE. Some may at this time be less feasible sure. To simply kill your plumber theory. Chemicals in sewer water can be added to break up the clogs. Your shit gets stuck in there… just wait 10 minutes and my super cool chemicals will attack that turd and break it down, next flush and it’s gone. Call off the plumber. Or my new KrazyKid tolet’s I sell have a built in flogger! Press a button and walk away. Version one dispenses the turd break up chemical and version 2 for an extra $19.95 has a hydraulic snake inside that forces the turd through your pipes. And don’t even get me on well someone needs to install the thing… nope it came with the modular machine made house you live in and is made of “manmade” titanium version 2.3 and never breaks. > > All the while people get dumber to compound on the downward spiral. We rely less and less on things as everything around us does more and more for us, faster, cheaper and easier. Work ethic decreases, morality decreases, and the drive to give a shit and go the extra mile decreases. > > One reason I might not want to have kids… because their kids, kids, kids might have a really shitty life! Well on your super toilet theory there is one problem. What happens when the super snake machine breaks? Who fixes it and do you setup extra set of supply lines along with the water for the turd busting chemicals? Not to be a prick but we are a long way away from a fully automated society. Either way I don’t see it happening in out lifetime. Your second question about the eduaction. I had 3 primary professors for my SCM degree. They all had practical knowledge and experience in the field and were successful. The reason for them religating themselves to teaching was simple they wanted to settle down and have a family. Much the same reason why I haven’t accepted any jobs in the SCM field yet. I was offered a few very good positions, but they required me relocating and being bounced all over the country. Not really an option since I’m married and my wife has the same degrees I do and is employed in a career oriented matter where we are currently. Both of us also like the area and don’t really want to leave and we live comfortably on our combined income. Do I plan on turning wrenches forever no, but for now it pays the bills and beat what a lot of people my age are stuck doing college degrees or not. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/5-reasons-the-future-will-be-ruled-by-b-s/255629)._
