But there will always be new jobs - most of us are probably in jobs that didn't exist when our parents, let alone our grandparents, were leaving school. (Hell, mine didn't exist when I left school). We have massive automation and technology replaces so many tasks, but unemployment is better in the west than it was in the 30s. Cheers Russell C.
