I mean... assuming all production can be automated at some point, and that no manual labor will be needed in any industry, only skilled labor.
Given a society that overproduces basic resources with effective cost per person so low that only a tiny % (if any) of the population is needed to maintain that production, then what?
Education becomes more important. Hopefully you'll be retired by then.
What does that look like?
It looks exactly like it does right now.
If the economy demands more skilled labor than manual labor, then the workforce will evolve to compensate. it's been happening forever, why would you expect it to stop?
