As the job market contracts, the jobs are shifting to the Internet. The most dramatic job contraction comes from manufacturing jobs. Manufacturing jobs are disappearing in record numbers. The main reason for this contraction in manufacturing jobs is the technology.
Robots are taking over the manufacturing plants. Robots are very obedient. They do not ask for a raise. There is no issue with unions. For the most part, they are working around the clock. The only humans involved in the manufacturing line are those watching the robots. If a robot goes out of order, the plant is immediately shut down while the robot is fixed. That is the extent of human involvement in a manufacturing plant for now.
But for the right programmer, this offers amazing opportunities. The robots need programming. Someone has to write the codes to run these robots. Many of the most prodigious programmers work from home. They write the programming that runs the robots.
As the robots take over the manufacturing facilities, more and more programmers are needed to keep the robots working. While some of these programs are handled by off the shelf software, most have to be written by a person in a given facility. This creates opportunities for the programmer who knows how to write such programs.
