If you are going to live to be 100 years old, are you in career that you can work in until you are 65 or 70 without being replaced by a nano-bot, robot, i-bot or some other form of artificial intelligence? If you are going to work until 2030 or 2040, you need to start doing your homework.

These are careers that we know will not be going away:

  • Cooks, waiters, waitresses and bartenders - although food preparation may be different.
  • Police officers, security and military personnel
  • Senior management within a company
  • Caregivers for children, elderly and disabled
  • Lawyers, judges, certain political positions

These are the careers that are in the most demand today and will continue to be in the future that are not going away:

  • Electrical engineers
  • Geological engineers
  • Civil engineers
  • Medical doctors
  • Nurses
  • Bio Pharmaceutical analysts
  • Bio Medical research analysts
  • Bio Technology research analysts and engineers
  • Computer technology engineers

Just about everything else can be replaced by technology or will be performed in a location in the world at the least costly place, that most likely will not be in the U.S.

Just food for thought. It is not too late to re-tool your skills!
