The article disagrees with the title. A "career path" implies growth. As the article explains, the jobs that are "opened up" are low skill, commoditized, dead-end work.

All technology giveth and taketh away, so yes it will create jobs while taking away others. However people that aren't able to come along, and there are more of them than you can feed, are very much threatened by this all. You either dispose all these so called career wise immobile people or you find them to do some interesting and fulfilling work, if not they will cause a lot of problems. I personally think the latter is the most wise way, besides, they are the majority on this planet.
