I think this was way too optimistic.  While I hate to wander into the
Peter Thiel territory, advocating that people continue to attend college
may no longer be the ticket to getting a job it once was.  Companies are
managing to automate, displace, and destroy jobs faster than ever, and, at
least in the short term, we may be looking at a jobless future.

Which could be a real problem for the long term because, despite all
improvements in computer technologies, humans themselves are still the
only source of creativity and innovation in the human world, and,
ultimately, the only source of evolving towards something else (whatever
that may be).

At this point, our only hopes are that people continue to be disappointed
with AI and that the AI bubble finally pops.
