Oooh, I dunno... if the experience I've had trying to get my car 
repaired recently is any indicator, there is a dearth of talent
in the auto-repair business.  And still, I'd take welding or
turning wrenches for a living over living on welfare or being a
homeless hobo, if those were the choices...

Yeah, but it'll be a little bit longer (I think) before a welding robot
can do everything a human can do.  There's still some life left in
those industries.  Not sure how much though...
