NEWS AND ADVICE

Dying Careers You May Want To Steer Clear Of

Neale Godfrey of Kiplinger.com provides an interesting perspective on those career fields that will be negatively impacted in the future. Be care if you are looking to move into these areas.

The world is changing and it seems like it is changing so fast. As a result jobs will change.

Here are a few examples of jobs that will disappear in the future.

  • Real Estate Agent: Frankly, I thing most of us can see this happening already. There are so many online companies that are willing to buy your house as is or cleaned up. Won’t be long.
  • Truck/Taxi Driver: Ok, for the taxi driver due to Uber and Lyft. But I believe the truck driver will be around for a while before driverless technology is good enough to allow for safe travel. Our demand for goods is too great.
  • Librarian: Researching in the library is almost gone already. Access digitally is available to everyone.
  • Doctor: COVID-19 started moving us in this direction, but I feel it will take a while if at all.
