HVAC technicians, despite maintaining and promoting the CURRENT solutions for dealing with the climate, are going to be in demand for at least a generation after some new technology changes the way that we make our living spaces more buffered against the actual climate beyond the walls. Commercial spaces and apartments are going to remain bastions of old tech, which guarantees job security, too.
That's just one idea.
The kids will be encouraged to look at careers that don't require mortgaging their LIVES for thirty or forty years, just to have a shot at a job that pays a living wage. I'd prefer they not go into construction work (in California, specifically), because of the number of work related injuries in that field in the area where they live. But that's based on regional work culture that demands too many work hours overall, and seems to skimp on common sense safety precautions, especially against heat stroke.
