Pretty much all jobs will go at some point, and there will not be enough jobs to replace the ones that were lost.


So we'll all get to spend our time having fun and eating cake :party:

This is madness! Social media assistant?!


Head of Brand for £32k is my favourite....must be something Derby really value highly to pay so much :rofl:
Can only find one of my potential careers:
Management Consulting (7% likelihood)

Seems like they don't have a description for investment banking or alternative investment management.

Bit random the least at risk. Also would think its a lot higher.

My job doesn't appear on the list :getmecoat:

So I guess the robots can't get me :colone:


@ChaoticButterfly You will enjoy this


I'm pretty sure a robot can take over from an unemployed person. A rock could take over from me :laugh:

Thanks for the thought though :kiss:

Don't worry :console: If this quiz is anything to go by we will all be in the same boat soon enough.

I put in physical scientist and it threw back 20%.
I'm a student, so the job I want to do is quite unlikely - 1%
Solicitor = 3% likely
So I am studying to become a robotics engineer, therefore i will be the guy who is actually taking away peoples jobs. This basically puts me as the last person who's job will be replaced by a robot.

Sorry guys....
Psychologist- 1%

I suppose whilst there is debate that computers may oneday get a sense of consciousness, I think it'll be a very long time until they can start providing psychological support!

Although. This does remind me that actuarial methods are pretty accurate in their diagnostic potential in some areas of psychology, especially for risk assessments for recidivism, violent behavior, sexual offending, even suicide. Research shows actuarial methods (which is essentially a computer) can perform better in assessing such risk than clinical judgement. Although they are useless in knowing what to do with such information, which is where the psychologists come in I suppose.

Sorry, bit of a tangent.
