Daughter in in Year 10, and saying this morning that her (quite young) science teacher was telling the class to head into agriculture.
People will always need to eat.
Daughter countered that the robots will be doing all the farming soon...

Researchers in the United Kingdom have successfully grown the world's first crop of barley using nothing but robot tractors and drones.
The project's aim was to have no operators in the driving seats of the machines or have any agronomists set foot into the 1-hectare paddock.
Researcher Martin Abell said there was a lot of farming already automated, such as GPS steering, but it was rare to grow an entire crop without anyone stepping into the paddock.
Hence the name of the project — Hands Free Hectare.
Imagine when this is how it's ALL done...and the AI wants us gone.
