Decreasing Jobs

I'm quite interested in this topic. When my dad was in high school the hot job to have was an auto mechanic. They made tons of money, much like computer realted jobs of today. Well, as you can see the auto mechanic jobs have died down, alot. Computer jobs are very hot now, but I feel in the future, they will soon deteriorate. My friend deals with computers and he already sees it. When people need their computers fixed, some say screw it and just buy a new one, for the sake of it being cheaper. Just a warning to a few of you who have aspirations of being in this field. What is your guys' take on this?

I never really thought about this kinda stuffs. Now that I think about it, I remember my brother saying to me one day about my other brother's job [he works for an airport store that sells stuffs like souveniours, liquor, expensive stuffs and so on, my bro being in the inwards goods section -- Supervisor]. He said "This job Noa has, it's a good job, because it's the type of job that will never die, it's always gonna be around, get what I mean, Azz?" *gives a little smile, nodding vaguely*... XD, but I now understand what he meant by that x3.

I think it's a little sad, because it puts peeps out of their jobs, but the world is always growing, always changing [sometimes, too fast] and this stuffs happens whether we want it or not.

It's just like the situation in Alberta. Everyone is flocking to the tar sands, but what happens when all the oil is gone? You think people would have learned from the gold rush...

Bah not to worry... Couple of years and the Baby boomers will be out of commission and then they will be begging for slightly qualified workers. I am not worried at all

yes, jobs can be fluctuate a lot and have consequences on people.

Take me, for instance. I moved to the USA for work cause there was nothing for me to do back home (Germany). Trends go up and down...you just have to keep up w/ them!
