Can a robot take unemployment from me?
A robot take my job as a student? Why not
My job doesn't appear on the list :getmecoat:

join the heady exciting world of university administration to avoid obsolescence.
Pretty much all jobs will go at some point, and there will not be enough jobs to replace the ones that were lost.
