10 jobs that won't exist 20 years from now

Published by Business Insider on Wed, 23 May 2018


The truth is, no industry is 100% safeguarded against the influence of technology.Some workers, such as dispatchers, are more at risk of seeing their jobs become computerized than others.Occupations that tend to be more routine and repetitive will likely cease to exist in 20 years.Out with the old, in with the robots! These days, new technological advances happen all the timeand while some industries have flourished in the changing landscape, others have fallen prey to automation.Here's the good news: automation isn't necessarily synonymous with job loss. In fact, many workers won't lose their jobs so much as see their roles getting redefined to meet society's ever-evolving needs.

According to The Guardian, that could translate to an81% probability of fast food cooks seeing their jobs replaced by automated kitchen assistants.In California, for instance, an AI-powered robot named Flippy has beenflipping burgers and placing them on buns at a CaliBurger location since 2017.Retail jewelersThe jewelry industry has been declining for the past few years. Per Bloomberg, the Jewelers Board of Trade reported thatjewelry store closures accelerated 53% in 2016.One factor, per National Jeweler, is that Millennials prioritize spending their money on experiences, rather than material things."Jewelry has definitely been tough and millennials are shifting their spending to experience," Brian Yarbrough, an analyst at Edward Jones & Co., told Bloomberg.
