Being Multifaceted

I think it is important for people to be multifaceted. I know this is much easier said than done, so I apologize, I hate that too. Here is the issue I have been racking my brain over for a long time. Job quality for different Americans across the US. Americans are different, we all stand under the American title, but in reality there is really just a few working/wealth classes that Americans can be put into in my opinion. I won't bother listing any because there are too many ways to form the classes, but I truely think people understand that, even if they don't want to admit it.

So people who live in rural areas or country bumpkins tend to work on farms, are factory workers or are miners. Jobs along those lines where honestly there is no telling what could happen to their jobs in the future. The mine could collapse or shut down. The farm could go out of business. The factory could replace people with robots or shut down as well. All the reasons aside, no more job.

I don't want to belittle the job, almost all jobs are damn difficuilt and tiring. However in terms of skill and who can do who's job, these people are always at a disadvantage, because where do they go next? They usually just complain that they can't find a job (jerb) because it got taken away in some shape or form. These people are not very skilled if all they can do is just one thing.

I am quite multifaceted, I can do anything. I can do their jobs probably, but the same is not true for them. They cannot do my job because it takes years of experience and learning to do my job. So I can pretty much go anywhere or do anything and pick up a new skill in order to get by. Hopefully I will never have the same problem as the people I described above, but I can't tell the future... India seems to be taking more and more of our programming jerbs.

My point is here, not to be condescending but to put yourself in a tactical advantage where if you lose your job and you can't find work, you should be able to open up yourself to new things and learn a new trade. That programming job might not be there later or that factory might shut down. Having an education is quite important too.
