30. Yeah. I've been saying since about 1980 that companies

should be snapping up people with liberal arts degrees, because of the more rounded education they have.

Some things are more secure than others, and in any case we can't foresee what cultural or technological changes are ahead of us. I'm old enough to recall quite clearly the shops that repaired televisions. I don't know enough about TVs to know exactly when they disappeared, but it's been decades since I've had a TV that could be repaired. On the up side, modern TVs last a very long time, if you're willing to keep them.

I'm under the impression that HVAC jobs aren't going away, but that's something I don't know a lot about. Right now hospitals still employ live nurses, cleaners, transporters, registration clerks, and various others. Some of those are difficult to outsource, but of course they can employ as few as possible.

There are still real teachers in most classrooms, and in my city there's a shortage of teachers, especially at the elementary level.

And so on.

I'm just glad I'm retired. Every so often I consider a temp or part time job, because I wouldn't mind extra money, but I don't need the money and I truly love not working.
