If you think the job market is tough right now, you haven't seen anything yet. According to consulting firm CBRE, 50% of today's jobs will be redundant by the year 2025 as Artificial Intelligence and computer technology takes over.
Of course if you're closing in on retirement then it won't be a problem, but if the firm is right then you might want to steer your children away from these jobs. These are the roles that computers and robots that don't tire and aren't prone to human error will soon hold a performance advantage.
There are some odd careers in here, although watch repairers will almost certainly face a perfect storm of robots that can do the task and increasingly efficient watches that simply don't break in the first place. As for library technicians, does anybody still go to the library now?
