No one can tell what will happen in 5, 10 or 15 years. But the general direction we're heading is not a good one.

Technology will evolve further and we'll have quantum computing and photonic CPUs. AI will play a vital key for metal health to dampen the impact of a more isolated society, where lonesomeness is a current civilization disease. Climate change and climate refugees will be a problem of the 2035 and beyond. Medicine will be improving via CRSPR technology, where a lot of illnesses and cancer of today will be a thing of the past, HIV has been recently test removed from a patient IIRC. The globalization as of it now, has come to an end and a lot of things will be produced locally, like food and important pain killers.

Automation will be at a high degree but there are still jobs where people are needed.

Food will not be produced locally. It is much easier to get enough to eat if its mass produced by commercial farms, as shitty as that is for poor farmers, but if you can afford mass amounts of high quality machinery, you can produce more to sell for less. A poor farmer can afford a tractor, a bit of land, and basics, but not as much as a billion dollar commercial farm. And that machinery makes farming more efficient. So farmers will either work for big companies, or lose out on farming all together and be forced to change careers. That's why they're going to need government help here soon.
