People get jobs fixing robots and other self driving cars that are going to take their jobs.

Not so fast. Technology will create new types of jobs, but it will decrease the total number of positions available to potential employees. It only takes a few thousand college educated engineers are need to displace millions of workers in many different fields (transportation will be the first but not the last). Right now every 18-wheeler needs it's own driver. Once they are automated, they won't all need their own repair man. What job should all those truck drivers, taxi drivers, and car insurance agents switch to? Will they need college degrees for those jobs?

Despite all the hype about entirely new types of work that would have been unimaginable to previous generations, the reality is that the vast majority of our workforce is employed in traditional occupations. The most common occupations in the US are salesperson, cashier, food and beverage server, office clerk and driver. Indeed, one recent analysis found that about 90% of the US workforce is employed in occupations that existed 100 years ago. The website designers, social media marketers, mobile app developers and all the rest constitute a very small fraction of total employment and in many cases they require highly specialised, technical skills.

A great many of the traditional occupations that now employ millions of workers are going to be highly susceptible to automation over the next couple of decades. - Will robots create more jobs than they destroy?

k-12 education has always been free so I feel fine about it.

Well, what if college had always been free?
