Exact excerpt

I would certainly encourage more people to pursue trades that will be less likely to be overtaken by AI. Think jobs that involve working with kids, sick people, being outside a lot, being an electrician, HVAC repairperson, nursing, that sort of role. We are short hundreds of thousands of tradespeople and these jobs will be more resilient.
