Is your job safe from our robot overlords?

Is your job safe from our robot overlords?
Should we wait for the "free market" to 'fix it", or should workers unions and governments protect some jobs from automation?

i'm a grad student majoring veterinary medicine so i think i'm in the safe position from the robot overlords

am i safe, right?
tbqh i'm a little bit scared

Who here /sales/? Machines can’t automate good old B2B sales

go into large animal med and you'll be all good. But we'll have automated neutering and other routine shit soon enough

Security right now, looking for a new job, maybe a trade. Restaurant cook could be fun, but I have no experience and I don't like the hours, so I'm hoping I can luck into a good apprenticeship or something. Plumbing maybe? Could live with construction too, but I'm nervous my personality won't mesh with a construction crew.

More on topic, my security job is at a warehouse. Unionizing is not a good solution to less automation. Just the other day, a truck driver told me that a budweiser warehouse he delivered to switched to an entirely automated warehouse crew after they tried to unionize and ask for a pay increase.

Robots are bad at feels stuff.
So what you want is a job where you have to empathize, understand and emotionally support or reach people.
Also the world population is aging where it counts, so jobs like taking care of elderly will be huge soon.

>around conservative old people, so can't be robots
>relies on empathy and understanding, so can't be robot
>have to be careful and responsible, so it can't be robots

If I had money, I'd invest in nurses for taking care of the elderly in USA and Germany. Start a company now, spend millions later.

trying plumbing or electrician, fucking good pay. A lot of basic construction will get automated but plumbing and sparkies will need to be kept around

>be american
>try to unionize
>mass fired

At least they didn't get shot.

Here unions are strong. The farmers regularly show up with trucks of milk to pour on the streets as a protest, forcing the government to have a big buyout to raise prices. Teachers protest also forced wage increases few years ago. Policemen protests recently forced raises in wages and new uniforms/car upgrades.

Basically every worker union protest always works.

For electrician, I'm actually color blind so that's out. But I've really talked myself into plumbing. It sounds fun, interesting, and right up my alley. I'm just not sure if it would be better to look now or after the holidays. I was also looking into HVAC as another choice. I'm not a huge fan of the hours and lifestyle that comes with being a trucker, but I've heard they can make fucking bank, so I might be able to suck it up.

The futurue is for people who maintain and create these things.

All retard jobs will go.

what kind of color blind? If red/green you should be ok. I'd say start looking fro plumbing apprenticeships now, there will usually be a surge in building just after new years and that's when they'll start hiring so try to get your name at the top of their list now.

Truckie isn't too bad depending on the gig you do. You can just do short runs if you want and most places have time limits on how long you can drive but the big cash is in shit like road trains here in aus or the ice road cunts north of you. Those can be fucked, I did road trains for a year or 2 fucking good money but most of the cunts are hooked on meth and you'll get fat and unhealthy

Capitalism + mass unemployment = revolution.
Nothing to celebrate.

just an opportunity to exploit

>truck driver
99% of trucks are going to be robots by 2026. It's the biggest looming economic disruption right now.

>what kind of color blind? If red/green you should be ok.
Oh really? I'll add that to my list then because that's what it is. I did apply to the Navy, so I know it's bad enough that I can't fly jets at least and assumed it was like that across the board. Thanks, I'll start poking around more actively now.

Worse comes to worst, I have some savings so I might be able to switch back down to part time at work and go to a proper trade school. My biggest concern is that if I do get a trade, the experience doesn't really carry over if I end up hating it or blowing my back out or something and need another new job.

The USA government, especially a republican government after Obama disrupted trust in the Democratic party, will protect truckers for sure.
Automated transport will not be allowed, or will be so regulated as to make it useless, for example requiring a driver be in the vehicle at all times.

It's also the biggest source of job in America. I'm not sure they will dare to automatise this.

will cheese making be automated?

Hello fellow vet user.

I literally set up, maintain, repair, and calibrate automated systems.
I'm the guy who is replacing you meatbags with robots.

So I'm safe.

Joke's on you, I am also in automation, but the software side. I make secretaries, clerks, accountants, and other book worms lose their job.

They cut out the sales people at my wife's company. They installed some software that handles the ordering based on parameters set by management and production. The production people do their jobs and input some material information into a console at their respective machines and software handles the rest of the inventory and ordering needs. Someone still has to setup the initial agreement and such but it weeded out a bunch of lower level sales people.

It wont be useless they will just have a person behind the wheel for insurance reasons and liability but the software will run most things. Driver will probably only end up doing complicated parking jobs.

What a bunch of shitty jobs. None of those looks fulfilling at all.

>Driver will probably only end up doing complicated parking jobs.
You'd be surprised how accurate the automatic driving systems are these days. Add enough sensors and you are all set up.
As for the drivers, I think that the older unionized folks are going to have a golden time. The truck will drive itself, they'll get the same benefits and salary as before. The new ones are going to get minimum wage at best, since they are little more than controllers.

>None of those looks fulfilling at all.
>fulfilling
Are you a 19 year old girl on a quest to find herself? You do the job you get, best if you can do it and tolerate it to some degree. If you can enjoy it, great, but spaking about fulfillment while being employed is rather silly.

There are so many parking jobs where the driver has to leave the conventional road(sidewalk, grass, etc). I dont doubt it will happen but I still think it is a bit further down the road.

accountants 100% will be automated
what is this bullshit graph?
ooh, until 2026.. then maybe by 2035 there will be absolutely no account jobs

this graph is a bit bullshit, accounting is dead for humans

The USA government made it, not me.
Maybe they think automation will take longer.
They'd know, they are the ones that can ban it.

No you should find the job you enjoy doing else you will end up in a crisis or will compensate with poor life choices.

A happy life is about balance not tolerance.

I'm a technician. I never wanted to be one, but they pay very good. Do I enjoy the work? Not in the slightest. Is it driving me nuts sometimes? Of course. Why am I still doing it then? Because I know the service I provide is vital for society, and leaving it to the other mongs who walk around here would leave is cold and starving. Also, as I just said, the pay is good and I have a family to feed.

Your family and civic duty is your balance. I hope you can retain good relations with both.

it's already is.
