Robotics is the future. Learn to work on robotic equipment and won't have to worry about those flunky factory jobs. I know a woman that did just that. Divorced with 3 children and no child support and working at a fast food joint trying to get by. She went to trade school part time and learned robotics and the day she graduated, Nisson hired her at a starting salary of $62K.
Quite true. If you think about all the skilled labor jobs that have been taken over by robotics over the past 40 years or so,sooner or later,somebody is gonna have to do maintenance on them.
