Even though the Dutch government is of the opinion that "anyone" can study because of loans and/or scholarships, it's just not true. Not everybody has the intelligence to study at bachelor+ level. Formerly, those people had jobs at MBO level 1-4, that paid them a decent salary, like 30% above minimum wage, but now there are no jobs at that level.
As QuantumIguana mentioned the automated car.... where are you going to employ the truck, taxi, and bus drivers who will be out of a job? You can hire anyone who can drive a car/truck/bus, teach them how to park or drive the vehicle in case of an emergency, and you're done. In short, if there are jobs in that space after this automation, salaries will instantly drop to minimum wage as there's nothing to do apart from taking control in an emergency.

How is a self driving car going to know when an emergency is developing? Will it be able to tell is something is developing half a mile down the road?
When I am driving can I can see if something is starting to happen and maybe do something to avoid it.
