I'd really like to think that we will truly discover what is important to us. Obviously the alternative to that probably leads to extinction or hybridization. Uggghhh.
In the mid term I would expect that mechanics will be among the last skill to leave. I have a good friend that works maintenance at Giga Factory Nevada-one of the most AI and automated places on earth right now.
I also expect to see the rise of personal assistants. Status will be about how many people you have working for you.
I also think there will be smuggler class of folks that will provide things that just can't be gotten otherwise.
Yep. This will survive until a robot can be created that can fit into all of those places with dexterity - that'll take some time. I think it won't be long until massage therapists will be replaced even. Consider a robot that can scan your body, understand the position of every muscle, every joint and apply treatment in such a specific and sensitive way that it is perfectly tailored for you. Hands aren't that hard to replicate.... :D
The personal assistant thing is interesting as I do see that there will be an elite that will pay for "manual service" -like hipsters.
