It will always be that way. You know what the big job was in the west around the turn of the century? Mechanics and electricians to work on all that new-fangled mining equipment. You could make in a day what a regular miner made in a week. Why? Because before that equipment was invented and first used, there were no trained electricians and mechanics to work on stuff that didn't yet exist.

How many jet engine mechanics do you think there were in the 1930's?

You can't "create qualified workers" in advance of a new technology.
