Future-proof careers

The future of employment looks uncertain – in fact, one-quarter of jobs in the US are at high risk of automation, according to a study by Brookings Institution. At the same time, some industries that are now huge didn’t exist 20 years ago, such as social media and app development. Fortunately, many industries are likely to be safe, whether that’s because humanity will always need them or because they can’t be automated. Click through to find out the 30 jobs likely to stand the test of time.

    Future proof careers will be those that need people to relate to people but there are so many variables. Who can say what effect politics will have. The Chinese are trying to fight disease by bullying people into silence. The Americans are in a political fix. Eurpoe's economies are in turmoil. I cannot forecast what is a good future proof career. Hairdressing maybe ?

    And you don't think nursing is a career that will "exist for decades to come??" Do you then think robots, Drs., O.T.s, or Dentists will take over patient care? I think not. Nurses have as much, and sometimes more, to do with healing the sick and infirmed as Drs. Who spends the most time on a daily basis with patients? Not Drs. You need to check your assumptions, facts, or stats again.
