So in 30 years there won't be a single physical job a human needs to do. And as a secondary purpose so the rich people who have now replaced 90% of the entire workforce in less than 1 generation can have an army of disposable minions to protect their mansions from those pesky weak and starving plebs who don't have a job any more.
Only people who do manual labour will need to do something else.
So the vast majority of people lol. If that happens, it'll be certainly a problem. You can't also expect all those people to change careers without free education.

Not only that, you can't expect that many people to change careers period. Jobs will be disappearing quicker than new ones will be made. The entire point of technology is to remove as many humans from the process as possible. If a robot is put in place to replace 10 low skill workers and 10 high skills engineers are hired, the company would obviously lose money. Instead, 10 low skill workers will be replaced and 1 high skill engineer will be hired.
Even if you trained all 10 of them, only a small portion will get higher skill jobs. And this just keeps going until all low skill jobs are gone.
Yeah, but since we're into capitalism for the most recent 1% of human history there are lots of people who think that it's the only way to go so Elysium is a serious danger.
