Is all the hype about "jobs of the future" unfounded hype?

Leaders and pundits say that people should be trained for jobs of the future involving computers and advanced technology. I asked whether or not farming would make a comeback now that vast amounts of land will probably become vacant thanks to the economic crisis. Someone said no, jobs will be found in the technology sector, and people shouldn't worry about that.

UMMMM, how are we going to eat if there is no farming? I also love how everyone wants to be a doctor or lawyer nowadays, and not an actual worker that produces something. It seems Americans have been screwed out of real jobs for so long that they've forgotten what industries really power an economy?

Will this line of thinking change?
 
"UMMMM, how are we going to eat if there is no farming?"

The FACT is that farming is being done just fine right now. Have you been to the grocery store lately? They look pretty well stocked.
 
And many folks simply CAN'T be trained for jobs that involve advanced technology. Many people are not capable of many things, no matter how hard you slam their noses into those things.
