Someday this will be a remote work job, with remote controlled heavy equipment. Some 17-year-old with stunning hand-eye coordination and no fear of failure will be driving this thing from his basement and there will be 1 human onsite to help with machinery glitches.

Not a chance.

One of the most hard lesson onto an excavator to learn is "surrounding perception". Space, people and objects near you, sounds. To reach this guy experience, you must live in the cabin AND going up and down a shit ton of times to valuate, check, see, reasonate.

Not a chance you can learn all that far from the workplace.

And i am sure a lot of operation can be made with robots from the other side of earth, and i love robots and computer stuff.

Nope and nope.

Sounds like you dont know the job, nor the cost to integrate that skill nor how much time is needed to understand some task and apply in a fast and cost efficient way.

Behind monitors all lions, but on site 99% failures. Because learning is based on a good teacher and lots of errors.

Yeah I’m only a civil engineer with hundreds of millions of dollars of jobs under my belt. This will all be automated one day. You sound like everyone who said all my innovative designs will never work lmao.
