Facilitate work mobility

At any point in time, a human should be able to change their skill set to match a different line of work and live through the change until they are successful in their change or they revert to their original line of work.

### Assumptions

1. The first time when a human selects a line of work they probably are young. As time goes by either the human will like the work, or develop an indifference of the work, or hate the work. The latter two is not good for the human as well as the collective society because wastage might happen as well as a lowering of social interaction may happen. Imagine constant pain in one's teeth. And one day the human will probably quit the work anyways causing misery to the employer, the employee as well as the society
2. The concept of division of labor suggests that people focus on specific tasks and dedicate their life to that task. The reason given was "productivity" . The example given by the great Scottish economist and moral philosopher Adam Smith was the pin factory in his book *The Wealth of Nations.* But that was in the 1760s when robotics was not invented, Adam Smith's observation and the concept is now considered obsolete in the wake of super technologies which can replace hundreds and thousands of humans. The more we treat humans as labor, the more we are pushing them to misery. The assumption made here is that growth in technology will progressively render generic human labor as useless.
3. Humans have no other option other than to specialize or protect their trades by law and regulation.
4. Licensing of all human work is going to increase in Canada For e.g., car salesman or a liquor server needs to be licensed, which will open the doors to setting up of barriers and obstacles, which will prevent new people from entering the profession. Two examples could be cited to support this assumption. (1) The push to the regulation of massage therapists in Alberta. (2) The new act to regulate immigration consultants. There have been several issues with immigration consultants. As on the day of writing, all colleges across Canada, including the Calgary Bow valley college are discontinuing the 30 weeks program, because they will not be recognized anymore and instead a two-year diploma program is being started in the queen's university. Let us not go into the politics of regulation. Our assumption is that licensing and regulation will be progressive and will restrict new people coming into the system, and finally close the system altogether with only a small pinhole kept open to replace the people who die out. It should not surprise Canadians if a shopping mall cleaner requires a license to wipe tables, the pretext being either climate change or occupational health and safety.

### General Method

Who will choose the change? who is the best person to chose the change? Should it be the person who is providing the money to support the change? If the change is free of cost, won't it lead to wastage? or abuse? won't people just try and leave it?

**Trial Period and Stages:** All training and education should have an intensive trial period and should be staged in such a way that a drop out is possible. In fact, drop-outs should be encouraged. There is no point in carrying them on shoulders or stretchers till the end. This is maybe applicable to basic elementary schooling. Because society benefits from people who can read traffic signs and instructions. But society does not benefit by having everybody learn Algebra or Trigonometry.
