Ok tech nerds, we want to hear from you! What fields are safe to go into with the sword of Damocles that is automation hanging over every one's head. My argument is that finance won't be touched cuz greed. However, I remain anxious to learn what jobs will remain relevant in the coming trumppocalypse and beyond. Joke and serious effort posts are both welcome as I really am curious as to what some of us are thinking.

There are no safe jobs. Soon the great job creators will discover that all finance and administration people are a bunch of jerkoffs that just jerk off all day and that computers have already made them obsolete. Factories will become self sustaining entities that simply follow the orders of the computers. Maintenance will be done by robots that will be able to maintain other robots. Security will also be automated, set to kill anyone who attempts to steal from or disrupt the system. The few remaining people who have money will either go into hiding in space or underground, and those too stupid to run will be eaten alive by the starving hoard that can no longer be placated with the entertainment that they can no longer afford. All that will be left is a perfectly automated system, designed to serve those who no longer exist to be served.

Expound on this. I'm intrigued. cams posted:philosopher king That is a very old profession and hasn't been a gainful form of employment in some time. I think they call those adjunct professors now. fits my needs posted:Trump! For the purposes of the inquiry, president is a little too narrow of a focus. Karl Barks posted:forums poster This is not gainful employment. If we could stay home and do that all day for 60 k a year most of us would be all in. Keep em coming gentleman this is just as much for our edification as it is for laughs. Thank you for chiming in so far.

electricians, toolmakers, pipefitters, millwrights. Skip your 4 year worthless degree and save yourself the 100k and go to a trade school, be in high demand, join a trade union, and start out at 60k.

"Artisinal" anything. I bet when automation and robotics becomes more superfluous, real live human service workers (ie. caretakers, gardeners, prostitutes) will become status symbols.

It's the inevitable effect on the worker's ability to negotiate labor and remain gainfully employed that concerns many. Chwoka posted:finance is already getting automated though? It's taking a while. Who chooses to outsource the computer programmer? The CFO, and that CFO heads an entire department of finance guys. The stockbroker is now just a monkey at a computer that is using a series of statistical algorithms. He is now called a finance analyst but has yet to see his job get outsourced or disappear.

Whenever a new feature is required I'll be the one that programs the system to facilitate it. Change is constant.

Oversight and supervisory roles will remain for some time, especially for managers with a good understanding of information systems and automation. Capital will want a person to call up, abuse, blame, and replace for the failings or perceived failings of of the system. This will be true for the suppliers of automated systems as well as their customers. There are businesses that exist to provide fully closed automated systems. Management don't want to implement these without a human operator in charge of the start and stop of the system. This thinking may disappear, but it will take some time. Once that happens though the only things that require humans are human interactions. We will still want to see other humans gasp and moan and cry and go through other experiences that we consider human. Those in power will find exercising that power on machines to be hollow compared to effecting the experience of another human. Of course in this scenario finding subjects for these experiences will be effortless, we're not all going to become Hugh Jackman and Rihanna types. Basically you know the end of a requiem for a dream where all the rich dudes slaver over the poor girls going rear end to rear end so that they can buy drugs to provide them with a sweet release from reality? That is the future so get your rear end lubed up.

Granted you die of chromium lung or whatever when you're 53 but who wants to make it to 79 in this world lol

I have the utmost respect for engineers and would not be surprised if they were the last ones with jobs. I'm not smart enough though; I will probably be a former senator cleaning homes of engineers in the near dark future.

Jonny 290 posted:yup. if we could figure out how to get robots to lay sick beads in the field, we would have done it already. True. I'm looking for the thrive not survive solutions though; so while I value your contribution, we are looking for positions that will not require additional health care services. Bushiz posted:bartenders because screaming your problems at a robot is and always will be less satisfying to shitheads than screaming them at a human. Very true, and deffo a profession I have reflected on taking on before. Fallen Hamprince posted:hooker maintenance technicians Now, I would definitely sign up for that.
