Do you remember when movies would show a future full of robots? Well that future isn’t so far away. This robots are coming and they will take our jobs when choosing a college degree, it is important to be cognizant of the changing world and its changing demands.
Below is a list of degrees that will be extinct in 20 years.
- ACCOUNTING DEGREE. If QuickBooks can do it you really don’t need your accountant. More and more companies are coming up with ways to do taxes online. In-house accounting is only necessary for larger companies and tax accounting for most individuals can be done online directly. The changing course of this career requires less number crunching and more insight. A good alternative to this degree is finance where you can be more dynamic in your career.
- HOSPITALITY AND TOURISM DEGREE Ever heard of this kiosks that you check in to at the airport? This is the projected future of most hotels. Majoring in hospitality and tourism is a mistake because most of that industry can easily be replaced by technology, the need for hotel desk agents, travel agents and more is dwindling for example in some hotels we have electronic/check-in for guests and also a robot acting as a room service boy.
- PARALEGAL DEGREE. Most of the duties of a paralegal can easily be done by a computer this days. Filing and research can easy be done online and doesn’t require human touch. Law itself can be replaced by technology
- BROADCAST COMMUNICATION. This is an ever changing field, the television is no longer the man news outlet, and a degree in broadcast communications focuses on an outdated technology. Also communication efforts are changing daily from snap chart to Facebook, we get news on very many different platforms.
- PHARMACY DEGREE. Your prescription over the counter can easily be filled by a robot that is a simple idea to grasp. Many drugstores or chemist are turning to this idea of an automatic pick up and drop off, and there is no real need of a pharmacist. Go big and became a doctor instead as this job is very replaceable.
