Interesting post by Walter Russell Mead on 'where are the jobs', here: http://tinyurl.com/3vw7swx. He argues that a lot of new jobs will come from "value added intermediation"- people who will help you navigate the complexities of booking a vacation or financial advice, or getting into college. I'm not so sure. It sounds like "fixers" in developing countries who help you through the bureaucracy , for a fee. There will certainly be some more demand for concierge-like services like this, but it would have to be high-end and expensive. Otherwise much could still be do by automating ( eg turbotax again), or searching forums for the answer to questions, as we often do now for tech support.
