The 10 jobs where you’re most (and least) likely to be replaced by a robot
It looks like you better get into some sort of medical related career if you want to avoid robots replacing you, but even Homer Simpson would likely be out of a job in future.
Doctors, surgeons, audiologists, prosthetics makers and occupational therapists are among the more than 200 middle class jobs least likely to be lost to automation, according to one of the top researchers on the subject.
But, out of luck will be real estate brokers, loan officers and credit analysts, all with a more than 97 per cent chance of becoming obsolete among humans in the coming decades, according to Carl Frey co-director of the Oxford Martin programme on technology and employment at Oxford University.
Bean counters – accountants, auditors and budget analysts – do not fare well either, reveals Fray's research, published in the Sunday Times.
The analysis of jobs paying more than £40,000 looks at those that can feasibly become automated. And even operators of nuclear power reactors such as the famous cartoon character are at risk.
