My dad tried to push me to computer work when I was young, I'm glad I didn't listen.
I became a diesel mechanic and am now a specialised crane technician, sure it harder on the body but I don't foresee my job being replaced by Ai and automation in my life time.
If anything the diagnosis work would become easier, much like the introduction of on board diagnostic facilities have already done for us.
The way electricity works though you can never exactly pinpoint an electrical fault with 100 percent accuracy on a machine without physically looking. Along with that limitation the robots to go in and make repairs are a way off still.
And if the western world ever manages to move to fully electric you can always get a job in a less regulated country ๐
Yeah, thankfully I have my restricted electrical license too so I can still work on fully electric machines anyway.
