For me, that is fine; the way the "world has moved" happens to be in a direction that fits well with my natural talents. But your assumption is that every person is more or less equally trainable for more or less any job, and that is obviously untrue. If the "world moved" in a direction that didn't happen to fit well with what I can successfully train myself at, I'd hope not to be thrown under the bus by my country.

For example, if some day computers program themselves and the jobs are all in looking beautiful and performing in public, I'd be doing a lot less well. Globalization only seems inevitable if it happens to be moving the globe your way.
