Pink collar jobs are less likely to be off-shored or replaced with automation because they're based on human interaction.

They use a lot of jargon, but don't explain any of it. What exactly are pink-collar jobs? I mean, a list of more than 2-3 would be nice.
So in looking it up, I agree that my son is not going to do a single one of the jobs listed. I will note that most are low-paying, and wouldn't support a family, something he would take into account when choosing a career (he's looking at majoring in Mechanical Engineering in college).

Engineering is a white collar job. People who are going to college for white collar jobs typically aren't considering low-paying pink collar or blue collar jobs. The article is mainly talking about blue collar men who are struggling to find work as their jobs are taken over by robots.
