For the same reason you don't have to grow your own food. The economic value of food didn't vanish over the course of the 20th century, even though about 95% of the workforce engaged in food production in the early 1900s was no longer needed by the early 2000s.
After the mythical, long-promised "singularity," you can still do your current job if you want to, just as you can still grow your own food. But you will probably have better things to do.
People don't work for fun they work for money. Since we're a service economy the only job i can think of remaining is a publican
Thus missing my point entirely.
The same thing that happened to all those farmers will happen to us.
