9. Honestly, they are going to be related to social services,
Edited on Fri Oct-15-04 01:25 AM by The_Casual_Observer
healthcare, warehousing, distribution, retail, IT repair and maintenance, defense plants, entertainment, construction.
Gone for now are heavy manufacturing, assembly, engineering design, software development.
The current outlook for the jobs of the 21st century looks to be rather bleak, however if it continues this way, there is always some hope that good things will emerge from "the bottom" as they did with the personal computer boom of the 80's, this is of course wishful thinking.

12. You don't need slavery
just eliminate the middle class and everyone is competing for survival. We'll all be free to work for scraps. And we all know it's better to work than to beg. Damn these bastards to hell.
