1. What jobs are mentioned
Answer the questions.
1 What does Cynthia263 mean by “Will pilots' jobs go up in smoke "
2 What does JerryMc's comment mean
Cynthia263 means that she is worried that pilots' jobs may completely disappear in the future. “Go up in smoke” is like saying something burns away into nothing
JerryMc is joking but also serious. He wants to try space travel, but he is worried that if his job as a cashier disappears, he won’t have enough money to go. So his comment shows a mix of interest in new things and anxiety about job loss.
3 What does JZhang00 mean by "sit at our desks"
Here, “sit at our desks” is a metaphor for doing nothing and being unresponsive to changes. He means that the world of work is changing fast, so we must learn new skills and be ready for new kinds of work, instead of doing nothing and hoping things stay the same.
