Semper Shitpost Ubique

So if internet proliferation, more education, and easier visas make it easier for India and China to take STEM jobs,

and NAFTA & TPP have outsourced manufacturing jobs,

and automation can replace service jobs,

What's left? I'm trying really hard to not fall into doom and gloom. I know the world has been globalizing forever, - jobs have gone to the next village over or the next continent - but I genuinely don't know what is going to happen. Should I emigrate to a BRIC and use my Canadian education as leverage?

did you not go to US public school in the last 20 years or what? the amount of propaganda aimed at kids to convince them either they are college bound or worthless really is amazing.

Canada too. In grade 10 there's Career Class that is about writing resumes, interviewing and applying to universities. University was very much the end goal.

In grades 11 & 12 courses are either University (Calculus, Advanced Functions, Stats) College (Data Management, Mathematics for College Technology) or Workplace (I don't even know what they called these courses). The University courses are the preferred ones and the ones people are encouraged to take.
