I think robotically driven historic building renovation is one of the safest jobs.

1. Loads of pent up historic demand 2. Work is complex, sensitive and physical. 3. There's more history every day!

There are other options that are - unfortunately - more likely. Historically the clergy was only a small fraction of the total number of excess males removed.

The church historically absorbed excess males in this way and gave them a dignified purpose in life, it's not a crazy thought at all.
