That's the problem today, everybody is dispensable. You can find the right person for a very specific job in a couple of clicks and get them to work for you as long as you pay them their worth.
At present, a lot of work places isn't very ideal. As someone who worked in a Canada Employment Centre, there is always pressure to perform or you would be out of your job. Being indispensable can mean you doing the job of 2 or even 3 people. You get the same wages for doing double the work. What about the people out of the colleges & universities every year? Are they being employed? And those who submitted hundreds of resumes for 1 interview?
Isnt the biggest problem money and gain proffit? What I'm trying to say, its cheaper to keep 1 person do 3 persons jobs, and to employ others throw recruitment agencies with poor payment when its needed. Or the company thats hiring all those people by using recruitment agencies services, could eather keep doing that or move to a mutch proffitable country. Over here in sweden, some really big companys dont even pay taxes or pay a mutch cheaper taxing feed, so they wont move to another country. But I think computer is the future, if we can manage to get a job in that, I think those people are safe for a moment. And sry for sounding negativ, I'm trying to stay realistic :)
What you said can also apply to this part of the world (Canada and the US). Companies here subcontract work to other companies or employment agencies so that workers cannot form unions. And people who have secure jobs are hired on short-term contracts (usually up to 3 years). When your contract is up for renewal, the company / organization decides whether to keep you. Being employed in a computer company will give you job security? Depends. People who program software in a company in the US like Microsoft are now part of a global workforce team where the workflow starts in the US and continue in places like Romania and then off to India in a non-stop 24h workday. And there are Customer Service (Call Centre) companies in India hiring university graduates. These jobs are considered high-tech in India with hourly wage a few dollars lower than the same job in Canada. And the jobs are not ideal since half the time you are on the phone. I exchanged messages with someone from China 2 years ago who thinks the US is the best country in the world. I told him in the department stores more than half the things you buy are made in countries outside the US. And even the uniform for the 2012 American Olympic team was "Made in China"...
You really put some thouts in to this, I can tell :). Well my idea about working with computers is maybe a bit romanticized. But from what I can tell and the stuff I'v learned it seems like the future will be alot more digital / computers will take alot of jobs that people are working in today. And its also faster, cheaper for the companys, and easyer for the the costumers. So if u got the knowlage about computers, you can probably get a job and keep a job easyer. But at the same time its more competition over those jobs. And this is just pure speculation on my side. And like u said, there are really shitty computers jobs when u work with for example custome service. The sad truth is, even if no one really deserves those jobs. Computers can easely take that job from us. For example, I prefer to use chat program with costume service rather then calling them. Cause its easyer, and faster. And I also dont have to wait in line with some elevator music in my ears :D. The only thing u need is a program that can answer all my questions. Google has something called cleverbot, but atm it seems to be just for pure entertainment, but still it works. If u put your mind to it, almost any job u can think of today. can be replaced with a machine, robots, gadgets, 3d printers or what u want to call it. My I ask, do u got any kind of ideas on how we can see a "better world" if I can use that term? Cause companys will always have proffit as there goal, even if the workers get a bad salary. Or they move somewhere els. Leaving meny unemployed. And it's not to be selfish. it's about survival, otherwise they would get out of businesses The only thing I can see, and it can be a bit drastic, but move away from money. I cant really go in to how this will work cause it would take pages after pages. Or maybe we can implant global rules than can prevent these kinds of things. So the workers get a decent salary, and maybe this would solve some of the worlds unemployment problem. But this will slows the growth and development. Not just proffit, the development of the world as a whole. We also got some serious climate problems. And just keeping focus on making proffit is a really really bad thing for the climate. If I can change topic to fishing, Just over a century we have fished up 90% of the fishes in the oceans, and its calculated in about 25 years the fishes will be gone, or atleast effect us in a bad way. But this studie was made 2010. And when it comes to fishing bouts they always get better and better, and faster to compete with the other fishing bouts. So there is alot going on in this age. And we got outdated system that needs to update fast. Btw thanks for reading it all :).
The future can be optimistic as long as government and industries work together to create jobs that cause no impact to the environment and clean air. I used to read a lot of books. The work of 2 people from the US especially including the economist Jeremy Rifkin who wrote many books including "The End of Work", "Biotech Century" and "Hydrogen Economy". The other is the former Vice President of the US Al Gore who lost the election for President to GW Bush by less than 500 votes. He produced a documentary "An Inconvenienced Truth" and is actively promoting "green" energy. The future is here whether we like it or not. We are getting more extreme weather like more snow and rainfall in some places, drier climate in others. The ice in Antarctica is melting. And industries are still dependent on conventional energy (oil & gas). People like Rifkin & Gore thinks industries should be focus on operating with alternative energy (like solar, wind, geothermal) and produce less waste etc... so that we leave behind "0 carbon footprint" or being "carbon neutral". Otherwise we'd be fighting in the Mid-East for the next 100 years to keep the supply of oil to the West.
If more and more people get unemploy they are going to vote more and more for socialist governments and the first thinks that do social governments are free university, free university rocks, smart people love it, and smart people when they get together create things. Great things change the world always for the better. So the future looks incredible.

Amazing perspective and guidance... thanks much...
