What should my child take up? [Thought, video]

I've frequently been asked, by parents whose kids are just about to finish their HSC, what stream has most employment opportunities. I have honestly no idea. I do think that we are fast approaching a robotic era - more & more work gets done by machines, & so would presume that knowing how to get those machines to do the work would be a more important skill than doing it. I just read this quote that summed it up really well "You either will be the person who tells the computer what to do or the person that the computer tells what to do."  Father Guido Sarducci shares his wisdom.
