9 'future-proof' careers, according to the world's largest job site

The automation of jobs has many advantages, like increased productivity. However, the main disadvantage is that people are concerned their careers may become obsolete in the next few decades.A recent study showed that millennials in general choose professions that are more "future-proof," and less likely to be taken over by machines, but that still leaves many unsure of whether a robot will steal their job or not.The world's number one job site, Indeed, has over 200 million unique visitors per month, which gives them an insight into what kinds of jobs are available, and what skills are in demand.Based on this data, Indeed's EMEA economist Mariano Mamertino has come up with a list of nine career paths that are the least likely tobe taken over bymachines, or will complement their work.Mamertino said that the occupatins which will beharder to automate"often involve managing and developing people" and "decision-making and strategic planning, or creative work.""Machines have the potential to make the workplace more efficient, by automating mechanical and routine processes, but humans will always play a key-role at the centre," he said.Scroll down to see if your career makes the list, which is ranked in ascending order by average salary, according to data from Indeed and job search site Glassdoor.Chef ' 18,730 per year.People will always enjoy the experience of going out for dinner and trying new flavours.

Not yet, at least.Healthcare professionals ' 26,380 per year.Some roles are not going to be taken over by machines for a long timeif at allbecause they require human interaction. Healthcare professionals are very much in this category. Nursing requires strong interpersonal and communication skills, which are things you probably won't get from any machine that exists now.At the moment, in the UK home care nursing jobs are the hardest to fill in the sector, so if you have this job you are still rare and in-demand.See the rest of the story at Business Insider
