What professions are on the verge of extinction

It is said that 65% of the workplaces where modern children will work will not have been created. But, at the same time, forecasts for many are disappointing - their professions can disappear from the labor market by 2030. Futurist Thomas Frey believes that by this time 2 billion jobs will no longer exist, and this is half of all that exist at the moment. The reason for such changes lies in automation, technology development and peace.

The main threat is received by those employees who perform routine work, such as a manager for cold calls, in many countries this is done by robots. Perhaps, once the drivers will disappear, because the autopilot is actively developed by many companies and quite successfully.

The 2013 study "The Future of Employment" reports that some professions are automated for 20 years, 47% of modern specialties in the world will be automated. So, with 98% probability in 2033 there will be no sports judges and referees, cashiers, packers, milling machines, examiners, investigators, accountants and auditors; there will be no waiters, bus drivers and security guards.

At the same time, there are also such professions that can not be replaced, for example, doctors of many orientations.

Who to work with? Bill Gates entrants are advised to apply for specialties that are related to artificial intelligence, energy or biology. He believes that in the future, these areas will be in demand, because the same terrorists can come up with a new biological weapon, which will need an antidote. With energy everything is simple, as we wrote in the article on climate change, renewable sources are becoming more popular and for their development specialists are needed.

Business Insider and Forbes also prepared ratings of relevant professions that will be in demand. First place in both ratings was occupied by the profession of a nurse. The demand for mathematicians and computer specialists is also growing, which by 2020 will increase by 3.2% worldwide. Also you can not forget about architects and engineers, the demand for them will grow by 2.71%. Three-dimensional printing, robotics and automated production systems will require new specialists.

Returning to the study "The Future of Employment", the professions of medical workers, choreographers, schoolteachers, sports coaches, foresters, microbiologists and others remain relevant.
