I would call Meryl Streep a major actress. Her credits go back to the mid seventies, and she is still making movies 
Born in '49.
Or Jane Fonda, born in '37 - credits back to 1960 and still active in the biz. Her turn to comedy was a good move for her

I was thinking of the average actress/actor. Hollyweird puts a lot of emphasis on youth.

It's weird, but I could take a photo with my phone to prove that I see this in my town EVERY single day....and sometimes they are all by themselves in their car. And about half wear them in every store. And Often I also see people walking/biking/skating with them on too - when there is absolutely NO one around them on the street OUTSIDE, I repeat - outside. They have them really brainwashed here around the capital of California.

I know what you mean. I see high school and college students fall for it and seniors from other nations mostly wearing them. It makes me wonder if they consider it fashionable or are really brainwashed. In the medical city of my state, there are health care workers at the grocery stores with them on. It shows me that their education didn't necessarily make them smart. 😄
That's a good illustration. The last couple years that turned the world economy into a wreck and more small businesses destroyed than any time in our lives.
As to education the vast majority of classes are designed with short term memorization and regurgitation on a test as rewarded practices. Other than short labs, there really isn't much if any real training.
That's true of liberal arts majors or of medical school. A good education is one which makes the subject matter useful and relevant. As a handyman, you probably relate to beginning a job by evaluation of the repair, replacement or construction. Then estimate the cost of materials, time of labor, relative risk and difficulty, and hired helpers. After that there may be many steps to finish a job and get paid a fair amount that comes hopefully close to the estimate with a return on the work.
The communication skills, arithmetic, and technical skills required are practical and necessary. That's an education that doesn't get the credit it deserves.
Nowadays, the average student spends at least 13 years of school plus free college, if under the promised scholarship; thousands of hours and tens of thousands of our tax dollars to come out the other end with their free education. I would not hire most of them if I was still in a position to hire. Some make exceptionally good employees, but that's not the average. On the job training or a period of apprenticeship is still necessary in many cases.

AI and Robotics can do the jobs of half of Americans. Let's run through a few examples.
1. They can do your taxes for you.
2. They can diagnose diseases
3. You can replace cashiers
4. they can replace janitors
5. They can replace people working in manufacturing.
6. They can replace soldiers and pilots.
7. Computers can diagnose what is wrong with your car so that mechanics can be relatively unskilled.
There are many more examples. Right now they work best in tandem with people. So instead of a team of 7 lawyers and a bunch of paras on a case you can get by with two lawyers, one para, and AI. The same is true when fixing cars, or operating in the battlefield, or so many other places.
The economics is also clear, once you start using these tools you get the most for your money if you maximize your use of it. If a law firm subscribed to a AI service, then it is cheaper if everyone in the firm uses it as much as possible.
Restaurants are doing the same thing, having one large centralized kitchen that makes the food and packages it in little bags of frozen meals. As a result the "chefs" can be minimum wage workers who merely heat up frozen dinners.
The same is true with security. No one would want to have AI and robots do everything, but on the other hand what secure location does not maximize their use of electronic tools like cameras, key access, alarms, etc.
Amazon.com and Walmart and others would prefer if you shop online. Doing that saves them money and it can greatly reduce the labor cost.
The bottom line is we are already at a place where you can replace 50% of the workforce with robots and AI and it will be a very short time before we can replace 80%.
Even in construction we can use 3d printers to make houses. Prefabricated houses are very economic and practical.

The robots already are taking over. At the grocery store self checkouts greatly outnumber the checkouts. They have these robots that are moving around the place cleaning the floor. My car will email me if they detect some problem with it, when you go to the mechanic he has to plug into my computer to diagnose what the issue is. That used to be the job of the best mechanic, now the computer tells them what to replace. Ever since 9/11 drones and robots have increasingly taken over our military. If you remove a pilot from a plane the plane can operate at higher G forces and it can be smaller making it harder to track and shoot down. Watson demonstrated how powerful AI can be at assisting doctors, Engineers and lawyers. Amazon.com is already experimenting with eliminating delivery men. Manufacturing is highly automated with robots. 3d printers are a stunning addition to the capabilities of robotics. They are already using them to make everything from small items to houses.
It is a simple equation of return on investment. Look at the cost of a self checkout stand, it will pay for itself in about 3 months. That is a stunning return on investment.
One advantage of drones is if they are shot down you don't lose the pilot. That is a huge advantage considering how long it can take to train someone. A second advantage is that these drones can stay aloft for days doing surveillance and the pilots flying them workin shifts.
It is already too late, the cat is out of the bag.

More deaths from the CV SHOTS than deaths from Covid!
(8 minute mark)
Over thousand percent increase in deaths of babies from mothers who chose to be injected. Start intro into Del Bigtree interview with NICU Nurse at approximately 4:45 mark.)
