It is imperitive on the individual to not allow yourself to be obsolete. If you think showing up and punching a clock will be around too much longer - you are going to be in for a rude awakening. The problem is I don't think we are educating kids in a way that will allow them to be successful in the high tech jobs that will only be available in the future. If you had thought to have the kind of job where you turned your brain off and just showed up for 8 hours, that will not be around for our kids.
