Oxford University researchers have estimated that 47 percent of U.S. jobs could be automated within the next two decades. But which white-collar jobs will robots take first? First, we should define “robots” (for this article only) as technologies, such as machine learning algorithms running on purpose-built computer platforms, that have been trained to perform tasks that currently require humans to perform. With this in mind, let’s think about what you’ll do after white-collar work. Oh, and I do have a solution for the short term that will make you the last to lose your job to a robot, but I’m saving it for the end of the article. 1 – Middle Management If your main job function is taking a number from one box in Excel and putting it in another box in Excel and writing a narrative about how the number got from place to place, robots are knocking at your door. Any job where your “special and unique” knowledge of the industry is applied to divine a causal relationship between numbers in a matrix is going to be replaced first. Be ready. 2 – Commodity Salespeople (Ad Sales, Supplies, etc.) Unless you sell dreams or magic or negotiate using special perks, bribes or other valuable add-ons that have nothing to do with specifications, price and availability, start thinking about your next gig. Machines can take so much cost out of any sales process (request for proposal, quotation, order and fulfillment system), it is the fiduciary responsibility of your CEO and the board to hire robots. You’re fighting gravity … get out! 3 – Report Writers, Journalists, Authors & Announcers Writing is tough. But not report writing. Machines can be taught to read data, pattern match images or video, or analyze almost any kind of research materials and create a very readable (or announceable) writing. Text-to-speech systems are evolving so quickly and sound so realistic, I expect both play-by-play and color commentators to be put out of work relatively soon – to say nothing about the numbered days of sports or financial writers. You know that great American novel you’ve been planning to write? Start now, before the machines take a creative writing class. 4 – Accountants & Bookkeepers Data processing probably created more jobs than it eliminated, but machine learning–based accountants and bookkeepers will be so much better than their human counterparts, you’re going to want to use the machines. Robo-accounting is in its infancy, but it’s awesome at dealing with accounts payable and receivable, inventory control, auditing and several other accounting functions that humans used to be needed to do. Big Four auditing is in for a big shake-up, very soon. 5 – Doctors This may be one of the only guaranteed positive outcomes of robots’ taking human jobs. The current world population of 7.3 billion is expected to reach 8.5 billion by 2030, 9.7 billion in 2050 and 11.2 billion in 2100, according to a new UN DESA (United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs) report. In practice, if everyone who ever wanted to be a doctor became one, we still would not have enough doctors. The good news is that robots make amazing doctors, diagnosticians and surgeons. According to Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, IBM’s Watson is teaming up with a dozen US hospitals to offer advice on the best treatments for a range of cancer, and also helping to spot early-stage skin cancers. And ultra-precise robo-surgeons are currently used for everything from knee replacement surgery to vision correction. This trend is continuing at an incredible pace. I’m not sure how robodoc bedside manner will be, but you could program a “Be warm and fuzzy” algorithm and the robodoc would act warm and fuzzy. (Maybe I can get someone to program my human doctors with a warm and fuzzy algorithm?) https://www./5-jobs-robots-take-last-shelly-palmer

Substandard! I Just flashed back to my primary school days. It all happened on a Tuesday when our teacher taught us a very interesting topic: comparatives and superlatives.... Eg: _Long longer longest _Big bigger biggest _Short shorter shortest _Fast faster fastest. So the next day, she came back with some visitors to prove to them that we were wonderful pupils,,,, She started; TEACHER : Now children recite what you just learnt yesterday... Let's go this way... TEACHER: Long PUPILS: Long longer longest TEACHER: Big PUPILS: Big bigger biggest TEACHER: Short PUPILS : Short Shorter Shortest TEACHER: Fast! PUPILS: Fast Faster Fastest TEACHER: (was grateful and shouted happily) Good! PUPILS: Good gooder goodest TEACHER: STOP!!! PUPILS: Stop stopper stoppest TEACHER: (already abashed) ENOUGH!!!

Yes! + how well you defended it in an oral and practical interview! I'm a living testimony. I got a job while serving. Mind you good grade can only epp you get a job in private organizations not gidan gwapnati. My grade? 3rd class lower! ![]() |
Good decision. Applaud-able. Meanwhile some corpers who think they'll make money outta the rerun will complain. |
