How jobs and industries will change in the next 10 years?

Question

In the next 10 years, what jobs and industries do you think will no longer exist or be dramatically different?
As we move into a more digital world that is more convenient for consumers and cheaper to run for business owners, what do you think will change? Do you think a more digital world will create more or less jobs, be better or worse for the economy?
Eg:
Cashiers
Printed media
Travel agents
Telemarketers 
I’m sure there’s a ton more.  What do you think?

Answer

Yeah, I think things will definitely move towards more self service and technological innovations. The grocery store I work at converted four checkout lanes to self checkout lanes and they are always being used. I’d love to know the details of who uses self checkout versus traditional checkout lanes. I think younger people would rather do self checkout. I know I only use a regular checkout lane if I have a lot of stuff, which isn’t very often. 
I initially think it creates less jobs, but there’s always something to replace it. For example, there may be less cashier jobs now, but there are more jobs created for grocery pickup and delivery. In the way future, maybe those jobs will be replaced too, but I think there will be another thing for people to do. Plus jobs created in designing and repairing these pieces of equipment. 
What I really think will be interesting is how education changes. I think we’ll see even more focus on STEM. Particularly coding.

Answer

Printed media will remain for a few generations for sure...there’s no way US schools will go full tech anytime soon. 
You know those people who write script in law? Don’t know what it’s called but those are the first to be gone. Ai voice recognition will write up everything, they have their days counted. 
A lot of fashion retail shops will close for sure. A lot of it is done online. Sucks for women but it’s convenient for most consumers and the businesses. 
The only thing that will never be gone is education, science, and technology jobs. You’re sure to have a job for generations and years to come in those subjects. 
I’m sure there will be a surge in social workers in new fields, can’t wait for that day.

Answer

It will create different jobs. Those jobs might be a thing of the past but new jobs will be created.

Answer

Oil & clean energy. California is trying soooo hard to electrify the whole state, and get rid of natural gas. My husband and I both work for a natural gas utility company so we are constantly worrying if our jobs will ever suffer for CA’s plan to go electric. Not everyone wants electric appliances over gas, and conversions will cost $$. I’m anxious to see how the future plays out that way.... I just don’t see how we can get the entire state to electrify when we get rolling blackouts due to high winds and heat.

Answer

In 10 years I see there being more technology, but I don't forsee any jobs being lost or becoming replaced with technology only. I can't even use self checkout at bilo because their machines can't understand that I want to use ebt for food and a debit card for not food. Printed media still has a lot of uses and is necessary for people without access to internet. Most of rural America has either no internet or terrible internet. No one in America has a good of internet as any other country because capitalism. With how things have been going in the last 4 years - I don't see much of that changing in another 10 years.
