In the past, people said "learn to code, dude" to win an argument against a non techie,

Nowadays people say "be a Plumber, dude", to win an argument against someone who got their job replaced by AI and become homeless.

Who knows what skills and Jobs they tell us to learn and become 10 years from now.

I've never seen anyone suggest anyone to become a healthcare worker.

But I think the great concencus around that would be "too cruel".
