I am v happy that it worked for you, but the whole 'There are no jobs' thing was... well, presumably only applicable to unskilled labour. I can't see a society not needing, say, lawyers and doctors and artists and engineers and all that jazz.
So all the episode says is that poor, under-educated people are forever trapped in crappy jobs. But hey, they should be grateful for them, because a robot might take it! Go capitalism!
Also, and this was something I thought of and then forgot, the Assessing Machine (that picked up the Doctor's two hearts) was also supposed to pick up on mental ability...
And it assigned the two most highly educated/intelligent people (Charlie & the Doctor) to Maintenance. I think there is something very wrong with that machine. (I was fully expecting Graham to be whisked off to Strategic Planning or something after the Doctor swapped places, but no.)

This episode was aggravating.
