That’s pretty much every career field. Why do we even have pharmacists today? My daughter went into nursing because she said surgeons are going to be replaced by robots. She’s probably right. I guess we should all apply at TSA and try for that third stripe...
No, you’re not out to lunch. This is a great job, but if you’re in your 20s today, I can’t really see this as a viable career past your 40s. This shortage of pilots will only serve as the impetus behind the acceleration of automation that will reduce the number of required crew members. I don’t think it’s as close as some think, but it’s coming.

That may be true, right up to the great EM pulse. Don't throw away your twisty-turney can openers.

Doctors and accountants are probably the most at risk to full automation. Any type of career that's heavy on rote learning, and algorithms. Aviation is still way down the list. Some tech company, like Amazon, will be the first to try single pilot, then foreign carriers.

BWAAAAHHHAAAAAHHHHAAAAAHHHHHAAAAAAAA!!!!! I hope you are being facetious, because if not... OMG, wow, dude. My wife is an ER doctor, and you are completely, and utterly clueless on that which you speak. No offense.

I program machine learning applications for the media industry, I'm also very active in that sector, I know where the tech is heading. These technologies are desperately needed in the third world, where they will emerge first. It's already in extensive testing.

Doctors.... Rote learning? You are on crack. Funny to read some of these posts and wonder how you became pilots. I guess the standards are not so high.
