This.
Working conditions as a bedside nurse are actually worsening in most parts of the country. Budget issues by many hospitals are having administrators increase the amount of patients each nurse is assigned (nurse to patient ratio). Or getting rid of nursing assistants who normally help the nurse do non-nursing duties (change beds, fetch water, etc). This means less nurses they can use and it saves the hospital money. This increases the work loads of the nurse. Numerous studies have shown that when you increase these ratios and take away help from nursing assistants....medical errors increase as well.
Many nurses are leaving the bedside altogether if they can to escape how bad it has gotten lately. Honestly.....I would not encourage anyone to go into nursing right now. You may make good money....but you are gonna be overworked and possibly placed in unsafe situations regarding patient care(meaning possibly being in a situation where something bad happens to a patient due to lack of staff....and the hospital will be quick to throw the nurse under the bus and her/him lose their license as well).

Drafting is a good profession.
Did it for 22 years for a well completion company in Houma.
Retired year ago this month.
Didn't pay much at first but got a lot better through the years.

A good example of a industry most would have considered long gone but is not are typewriters. In every major city in America there are still people making a living repairing typewriters, and totally manual typewriters can still be purchased new like this Royal on Amazon.

Honestly, the days where the plant pretty much operates itself are so few and far between, that you have to really soak it all in and appreciate the frick out of it. Unfortunately, there will be seal leaks, loose flanges, leaks in general, equipment on schedule for maintenance that has to be isolated and cleared, transmitters that get plugged up and need to be blown out, etc. All in addition to these temperature swings we've been having that play havoc on the process.

I get annoyed with people who not only predict that technology will lead to massive unemployment but also relish in this prediction when it comes to certain professions. Technology really shouldn't scare people. It should be embraced. Throughout history as technology has advanced, new jobs have been created as old jobs have been destroyed. In 1900, for example, 40% of the population were farmers. Now, that number is like 1%. I bet nobody ever predicted there would be Uber drivers one day.
Bottom line: It's a lot easier to predict which jobs will no longer exist than which new ones will be created. Those who are highly educated will be fine no matter what happens, so long as they retain creativity and adaptability.
