Travel RN's make that chedda.
In a country of too many meaningless degrees with no earning potential, RN's still have many opportunities available that pay very well.

My wife and several of her friends are RNs. There is no shortage of opportunities on the northshore and Hammond areas. I cant speak about anywhere else.

Drafting
Hand drawing on a drafting board? Sure. But I've been in the "drafting" profession for 5 years now, and there is way more to this job than what the average Joe might know about. It's slow going right now in petrochem, but it's not a disappearing job.
Oddly enough, I find the guy who said Architect as spot on. I graduated from LSU with an Architecture degree, industry was shite, stumbled into my current job out of pure good fortune when things were booming. It can be a hidden jewel of a career in this part of the country. I certainly don't ever plan on giving it up for the pennies of an architecture career.

a lot of highly paid medical workers are about to be replaced by computer systems.
Our society has to come to grips with there not being enough work for everyone.
its great for capitalist employers, not so nice for unemployed people whose work was first replaced by cheaper human labor, and then, by a computer controlling arms and attachments.

Nursing?
I've been in talks with my daughter about Nursing and how it's one of the best ways for her to go in 3 years. She agrees and I pray she'll follow through. It's an incredibly stable and lucrative career.

For now. They are training rhesus monkeys to perform these same tasks though.

All of them. The robots are taking over.

Architect. I hear this a lot why? What has replaced them?
Not sure about this one. I do agree that the days of the custom homes are fading, but any commercial building still requires an architect. As long as there is construction and development, there will be architects.
The field might be oversaturated like lawyers, but the profession isn't going anywhere.
