I am an aerospace engineer. I see software engineering isn't a safe career either. We have software that writes software. We have software that writes test cases and test procedures for software requirements. We have a tool that was built and run by 1 super smart engineer that replaced the work of literally 300 software engineers writing test scripts for a year straight.

And for non skilled labor, we've gone from manufacturing, to retail, to warehouse jobs. And warehouse jobs are easily automated, those warehouse jobs will be 80% gone in 15 years.
