Is your job being replaced by technology?

[Scouzer]

Mine is. It's a real bummer. We'll always be around to some degree but there's less and less of us every year. I have 31 years to retirement and I'd imagine the safety function we play will be largely irrelevant by the end.

 

[MagnusTheBrewer]

My job will never be replaced by technology. We'll never have machines that work as cheap as I do.

We are in the era of an information revolution. Knowledge is the key rather than skilled manual labor.

Too bad wisdom to use that knowledge can only be gained through skilled manual labor.

 

[Malak]

My job could never be replaced by technology so not terribly worried.

 

[Locut0s]

Well my job is selling technology so...

 

[Dominato3r]

Pilot... someday, yes.

What job?

Agreed, but that isn't my situation. I'm in aviation where the rapid improvement of airline procedures and airplane technology is reducing the requirement for layers of safety. Think of it along the lines how 30 years ago most major airliners had an engineer (3 man crew), now they only have a first officer and a captain. The engineer played an important role, but technology dusted him.

Though people love to hate us, lawyers are indispensable in a modern society.

Never needed one and never will.

Never needed one and never will.

What do you do and where do you live (country/state)?

Why would that be relevant?

Hide bound bureaucracies have always needed Jesters.

It would explain why you think you will never need a lawyer.

There is truth to your statement but a person with experience needs the courage to step away from the comfort that experience can provide, to embrace the difficulty of earning an education.

The combination of experience and knowledge is very strong but takes much work for the individual. A repeating pattern evolves of leaving behind a comfortable position to achieve more.

Yeah, something like that.

MotionMan

No it wouldn't. My profession is irrelevant, I have no reason to need a lawyer. I have no involvement with the court system, never will by choice. And if it isn't by choice, I still won't get a lawyer. I'm not interested in playing that stupid game.

 

[coldmeat]

Well my job is selling technology so...

you can do that online now

Good point. I would think an educated person that had filled the engineer's role would be able to move on to another position with relative ease.

 

[MotionMan]

No it wouldn't. My profession is irrelevant, I have no reason to need a lawyer. I have no involvement with the court system, never will by choice. And if it isn't by choice, I still won't get a lawyer. I'm not interested in playing that stupid game.

There is a sucker born every minute. Litigating against pro per parties is such a joke.

Good luck with that.

Rip engineer :'(

The company I work for does most of its sales online. We have retail stores too though.

So if you were wrongly convicted of murder you wouldn't get a lawyer?

You forget that he's got god on his side and anyone that has god on his side could never be wrongfully accused for anything.
