McKinsey consultants posed the question: Which professions have the highest chance of remaining in demand in 15-20 years? The study concluded that the hardest occupations to automate will be those that involve managing and training people (teaching, coaching, business training) and those that require decision-making expertise and experience and/or a creative approach (journalist, programmer, chef), as well as the ability to negotiate with suppliers or customers. Oddly enough, some low-skilled jobs are also difficult to automate: for instance, robots are not yet able to make up beds at hotels. Hotel guests are too unpredictable—you never know where they’ll put the pillow or whether they’ll leave their clothes on the bed.
