Yes, our world is changing, and there are a lot of professions/institutions that are getting hit. There will be fewer high-paying jobs in virtually every human endeavor. However, the bottom line remains the same: work hard, diversify, network, and succeed. Yes, you need to be wary of the negatives. However, if you love the work, have the drive, and never stop learning, you can write your own ticket in aviation. Will success mean the left seat of a major for some? Yes. Will it mean supervising UAS operations over a major metropolitan area for others, still finding time to enjoy the "flying" aspect of the job? Yes.
You're right: we are on the verge of a complete NAS revolution.
