/biz/ - Business & Finance

I am planning for long term unemployment. I am getting a degree in computer science, but it is through some online school, not a reputable university. Fortunately, I have a disability (bipolar I disorder) that will entitle me to bursaries and grants, so I might not have much debt.

My future job only has a 4.2% chance of being automated, but computer science is going to get completely flooded with anyone with any math ability from any other field that is being automated. Computer programmers have a 48% chance of being automated, and they will be the first to upgrade their skills. The field is going to become saturated, like everything else, and then it's going to go to shit. Wages will drop. Software engineers already make only $63,000 CAD per year here already. I see it dropping in the near future.

So I guess I am asking biz, what's the best way to get on welfare and be unemployed? I might even be able to pay back any future loans I have with NEET bux for my bipolar disorder.

I think by 2030 there will be a basic income in most advanced nations, but for now I must milk the traditional system.

Why not have basic income? It will eliminate poverty and replace the jobs that are being done by software bots and robots. I think it would increase demand and thereby increase economic growth.

Why not have basic income? The middle class isn't getting any richer. Middle class jobs are not coming back.

Which new industry is going to create middle class jobs? WhatsApp? It employed fewer than 20 people. There are no more GM plants coming to soak up the average skilled general population, and the legions of arts grads that our universities churn out are not going to get jobs in the already over saturated STEM fields.

How would a basic income affect the economy?
