Outsourcing

Make sure you pick a career where there's no possible way that it could be done from a distance, or where people wouldn't trust foreigners to do it. Take for example a doctor. Would you trust someone from China or India to diagnose your problem over a teleconference? Maybe we should have robots be the doctors. Who can sue a robot? How about lawyers? Couldn't you have a "turbo tax" like solution for all lawyer situations? You could program your defense in a junk bond or insider trading case. If we make the robot lawyers good enough, they might be able to prosecute child molestation or war criminal/mass murder cases. I guess the problem is that there's always going to be a way to beat a computer. Imagine Saddam's counsel standing up and saying, "Your Honor, if it pleases the court, the defense would like to hear the prosecutor calculate pi out to the last digit."

Case closed!
