Actually, in some cases, advances in technology make for a much more interesting job. In the case of my occupation, in the olden days, a secretary used to be someone who would type up her (it was usually a her) boss's correspondence. Now with advances in word processing, this main task has been taken away, but the job itself hasn't been. Instead it's been upgraded to being an executive assistant, with much more interesting tasks, more responsibility and more pay. The best thing is that the qualifications haven't changed. You still only need the ability to type to start out in clerical work, and you learn the rest on the job. This clearly hasn't happened yet with LT's job, but not all is necessarily bleak in the long run.
