Exactly. The idea that people will be able to transfer their skills is absurd especially since most people are truly lacking in real world skills. At least in the United States, we churned out, from the university level, a lot of lawyers and finance people. Those are two professions that will be affected by AI to varying degrees.
There seems to be unlimited demand for competent software professionals.
This is likely to be automated too. There is already self evolving AI out there which basically codes itself.
There is a chance that for all the "learn how to code" mantra being preached, that might be largely automated too.

Coding will be automated eventually. But I really don't believe it will be automated any time soon. The complexity of software engineering is hard to overstate. We're not talking about some typical problem domain that lends itself to the big data approach. We're talking about seriously complex conceptual hierarchies. Programming is all about abstract thought - and bugs and incompatibility problems that might stem from any layer in the stack. It's remarkable how little progress has been made in the field in all these decades. A lot of other engineering disciplines have evolved into mature industries where standard practices go a long way at producing predictably high-quality results.
