List some jobs that can't be automated or outsourced

[mce]

The drama regarding Trump's economic nationalism BEGS the question: what kind of jobs CAN'T be outsourced OR automated?

Here's my list

WELDER (free form / not long seam welds - those are already done by robots)
HVAC repair
PLUMBER
ROOFER

What else?

[EddyTheDog]

Nursing - Real nursing - Wiping asses etc...

Nursing - Real nursing - Wiping asses etc...

There are several levels to nursing and CNA (certified nurse's aides/assistants) take the brunt of butt wiping.

[Sly]

The automation game is going to slow down when the investment money and over valuations begin their drying up phase. Think dot com bomb. I give it 5 years.

With that said, anything listed in this thread can be simplified and automated in some way, shape, or form.

Roofing? They can lay bricks with machines, shingles are not that different.

Caregiving? Robots are already underway. Will be another 10-20 years, but as the world ages and people cannot afford human care, robots will be a plausible solution.

Nursing? Robots for taking vitals, administering medicines, etc.

There are no limits. The expedited evolution of man is before us.

Similar to the UK - Most nurses are paper pushers these days...

.

The ROI on those machines will probably be harsh. Also, given the variations involved. You will still need people.

In terms of LONG TERM automation (100 to 200 years), I'd agree. But not within the next 75 years.

1. Programmers

The demand for this job is at an all time high and just continues to increase it seems. You cant go wrong with this one. With huge opportunities and new openings being created every day. This is one of the safest and infact growing job there is. The growth in this one seems to be exponential.

2. Scientist

Another job that is safe from automation. Infact one of those jobs that are highly unaffected by automation. Automation can aid these type of jobs but are nowhere near advanced enough to even think about replacing them.

3. Researcher

This is a job to stay. This job most believe will never be automated and can never be automated. They are right for the most part. Although data gathering part can be automated to it. The elements in this that are not automate-able include personal insight and making sense of data. Just data in itself is not anything special. Making sense that is the real challenge in this one.

4. Doctors

This is a controversial one. Most people feel and it is happening to some extent as well that surgeries can be automated. Although not completely, many feel that doctors (Especially surgeons can be replaced). However the technology is a long way off for that to happen. Plus there is more to doctors than surgeries.

5. Teachers

Another one of those tasks that is really hard to automate. A teacher is more than just a knowledge imparter in most cases. They shouldnt be treated as such as well. Sure in terms of knowledge you can just go to youtube or many other websites and just get the information from there but everyone knows that the profession is much more than that. Teachers often become are ideals and more over than that shape our world view. Whether we like it or not.

1. Electrician
2. Robot repair technician (maybe) this is assuming we can't (or will not) build robot repair robots
3. Computer engineer -- someone has to write the directions for the robots.
4. Marketing and Platform Development
5. Business and IT management
6. Most of the healthcare professions are or will be computer or AI assisted -- but -- the human element or supervision will be required.
7. Human and robot relations management
8. Auto (transportation) repair mechanics
9. Most high level engineering professions -- like ''robot designers''
10. Robot managers -- keep the androids in line

What else?

Hooker hand job gone! Replaced by fleshlight

Also accountant & tax preparation replaced by QuickBooks/Quicken & TurboTax


OH CAN'T be replaced

[Barry-xlovecam]

You need accountants to use tax software -- unless you have a very simple return. But you definitely need a lot less 'bean stackers' than you did in 1989 ...

Would you rather stick your hard in a fleshlight or stroke it in your hand if and when you can find a human hole that will appreciate it?

People are cheap & convenient by nature evidently

[crockett]

solar installer, windfarm techs, cell tower techs, mechanics (although this job will change a lot in the near future) just a few off top of my head.

[Look Chang]

Hookers will never be replaced by robots

[j3rkules]

Adult affiliates.

[Zeiss]

Pretty much almost every job... Automating something is still a job. To make it automatic, you have to manually make it first. Think...

[CurrentlySober]

Porn Star.

Book a really hot 18 year old girl from a modelling site and then a fat 30+ girl arrives wont go down to well

[Goethe]

Content creation.

[pimpmaster9000]

well you cant automate voters, buyers and taxpayers

yesterday whilst eating a small pack of serbian nutella called "eurocreme", I decided that automation will be outlawed when a critical mass of unemployed people, and over taxed people who support the said unemployed people, start voting against what killed their market in favor of corporate profits of a few...

robot tax will appear...or communism...one of those two...or a world war...one of those 3

Haha true, theres always another way to generate traffic

[Look Chang]

GFY trolls

[Barry-xlovecam]

Any creative task that requires original thought.
Robots will never write great literature.
Robots will never create great music.
Robots will never cause disruptive innovation.
99% of humans will never accomplish any of the above.
5% to 10% of today's humans will be the robots' taskmasters.

Artist/Designer...it could happen someday, but I don't think we're close to it yet.

Waiter and cook.

I think Everything can be outsourced/replaced by computers/robots withing the next 100 years

Real empathy can't be faked - I think that's why caring professionals can't be replaced by robots - Not totally any anyway...

[brandonstills]

Everything will eventually be replaced. The correct question what will be the last things to be replaced. Things that involve creativity will probably be the last jobs to be replaced.

Also, you're assuming humans won't augment themselves with technology. If you read "The Singularity is Near", the more likely scenario is that humans augment their intelligence with cybernetic brain enhancements that allow them to do more and more. It's not that the robots and AI will take over, it's that we will slowly merge with them.

[CaptainHowdy]

Bank robber ...

[TheSquealer]

Remember the 80s when there was endless claims that automation and robots (starting with car factories) were going to put every American worker out of a job?

How'd that turn out so far?

[TheSquealer]

Real empathy can't be faked.

thats actually not true. a sizeable chunk of the population are psychopaths and are capable of both developing empathy as well as competently faking empathy. by faking, i mean faking to the point that they can easily manipulate psychologists, psychiatrists, counselors, prison guards etc etc etc

it doesn't matter whether or not its an authentic or genuine response or that the actor is experiencing the emotion, it only matters that the correct and properly calibrated responses are given at the right moments.

Cuckolds can't be automated or outsourced!

Yeah, after all everyvone which doing caretake job would leave same second in case there is no payment or payment problem.

[Paul Markham]

Product design will continue to accommodate automation in manufacturing. So never say it can't be done.

Affiliates have already suffered from automation and anyone who doesn't see it taking over more is a fool.

Whatever's left won't be enough to keep 30% of the population in a job that pays well enough to support a family. And there's the problem.

A Car Production Plant that used to employ 1,000s now employs 100s. The worker's incomes are not 10 times the previous worker's wages. That means tax revenues have been reduced by a huge amount. Making 50% unemployed means they need benefits to keep them clothed, housed and fed. Which is hard to find when Tax Revenue is harder to find.

Add Globalisation, Population increases and you have a Perfect Storm for a revolution. This is the future and more people than me are stating it.

[Paul Markham]

Nursing - Real nursing - Wiping asses etc...

Real nursing will require less nurses. Wiping asses can be done by low paid staff.

[Paul Markham]

It couldn't be going better for the bosses of your customers.

[Paul Markham]

What does this have anything to do with trump?

Everything. It's why more politicians like him or with extreme policies will be elected. The present bunch are being paid to take the present course.

[Paul Markham]

No you think about it with your eyes open. It's already happening.

What happens to the other 90%?

[bronco67]

tell that to vista print, cafepress etc...

I meant actually imagining and creating the artwork.

[Barry-xlovecam]

What happens to the other 90%?

What are military wars and urban combat for ?

[Bladewire]

What are military wars and urban combat for ?

That's robots work.

Or good way to full the human population

[Barry-xlovecam]

You mean 'cull'?

[Spunky]

Construction workers,basically anything in the trades

[CurrentlySober]

Wiping asses can be done by low paid staff.

Or, as in my case, not at all...

[Bladewire]

You mean 'cull'?

I did! Thanks for that

[Paul Markham]

What are military wars and urban combat for ?

What happens when the soldiers get made unemployed because the rich won't pay their wages?
