Rise of the Machines
You might want to go into R&D of EMP devices. The more accidents the better.

Seriously, If you cut humans out of the economy, what will purchase the end product to support those machines. Will the robots toil away and everything is free? Is the only way to make a living is to be an entrepreneur? What do you do with surplus humanity? Even warfare will be remote control. I believe our numbers are going to decline.
