30 Careers Not To Choose If You Want To Have A Job In 5-10 Years, According To These People
Few things in life are immune to change. Even in as little as a year or a decade, people’s lives can flip completely upside down or take a turn so sharp, they might not even remember said life before it.
Unsurprisingly, the way people earn their bread and butter can change quite drastically, too. For some people, that might entail computerizing or modernizing certain processes, for others – getting better tools, better working conditions, or better compensation. However, for some employed individuals, the change might not be for the better, especially if their jobs are likely to become obsolete over time.
Members of the ‘Ask Reddit’ community recently discussed what they believe such jobs might be. One user asked them what professions they believe are going to get wiped out in the next five-to-ten years, and quite a few netizens shared their two cents on the matter. If your curiosity has been awakened, you can find their answers on the list below.

My friend is an artist. She made a living off commissions on Twitter. That site going to sh**e and the rise of AI has already caused her to lose 80-90% of the commissions she was getting a few years ago. She’s currently working a minimum wager to keep what she can in her account while she figures out what to do.

This is one of the saddest parts of AI. We thought AI would take over mundane tasks so we could pursue things like the arts, yet here we are, doing mundane things while the arts are being taken over by AI.
Even our community alerts pages on FB are now adding AI generated images with every post. It's annoying AF 99.99999% of the time.

In the USA?
- Teachers
- Lawyers
- Scientists
- Engineers
Because education, law, and science are suddenly considered anti-American. Without education, everything eventually crumbles.
Even before this Trump administration, Americans have been losing jobs to foreigners that are better educated than us. We’re losing those jobs because Americans just aren’t qualified, simple as that.
At the rate things are going right now, we won’t have any professions left that require a brain.

Education is failing because schools are no longer teaching children HOW to think, but instead WHAT to think...while parents continue to support the assbackwards notion that everyone deserves a trophy for simply existing in proximity to those who actually succeed. The rest, unfortunately yeah. Both sides of the aisle are eager to deny different area's of science in service of an agenda, both sides are eager to ignore differing laws and rights in service of an agenda. And yes, while foreigners are often better educated....they also have a much better work ethic, and are willing to maintain that work ethic while working much, much cheaper. The kids who got trophies for losing grow to expect top dollar for minimal skill and effort.

Any sort of translation work.
jak_hungerford:
My wife is a translator and this is something she is really concerned about. Her projects were cut in half this year compared to 2024.
RU Sirius 4 weeks ago
Translators are more involved in PEMT (post-edited machine translation) now. This means still a lot of work but of different nature and more documents processed in a shorter time. Also, this image does not represent the up-to-date translator's screen as most of the work for the past 10+ years is done in CAT software.

Teaching. We’re leaving en masse due to low pay and terrible conditions, and it’s only getting worse.
Caspur42:
I live in the south and it’s way worse than people know. We have a teacher on fb who regularly posts things that are clearly not true like 20 million dead from famine in the US during the Great Depression.
The good teachers are fleeing in mass and leaving the state.

I used to do court transciption (not stenography). Basically I download an audio file and type what's spoken in the courtroom verbatim (within style rules). The industry has been trying to implement speech to text software for years but it's been too c**p up until very recently. I've since upskilled to an "editor" where instead of typing manually I correct the generated transcript.
It still struggles with speaker differentiation and formatting but it's improved so drastically within the last 3 years it's only a matter of time until traditional transcriptionists are no longer necessary.

My hope is that car salespeople go extinct. The dealership model is antiquated and unnecessary. There’s no good reason why one can’t buy a car completely electronically. Choose car. Add options. Add to basket. Select financing. Complete purchase.

I would still like to test drive a car before I drive it. But that just requires the car to be available, not necessarily with a salesperson trying to push me into buying it if I decide it doesn’t suit me after all.

I think this applies to many countries. In Spain state workers are civil servants and it's virtually impossible to lay them off. I've just been to the local town hall office in my area. 1 person in reception, 1 security guard at the door. Another person at the information desk. I went upstairs were 7 people doing nothing. There are 2 more floors in the building. I was the only person not working there. We need to trim the fat, but pouncing round the stage like a gay monkey with a chainsaw is not the solution.

Journalist.
I covered the NBA for over a decade, but from 2019 until now — the last five years — I’ve been laid off seven times as companies shift to AI-authored stories. I’ve been offered AI editing roles for half my typical pay which is unsustainable. I know other writers from other fields are probably feel the same squeeze as I am.

My masters in data science feels pretty useless right now. Saturated market, and AI is being programmed to do coding, analyze trends, create other models, and prepare reports.

I work in the gaming industry. We're already losing coders and seeing team reductions. Anyone who works in a modern day office that specializes in digital work is seeing this. The layoffs are already rolling out, and future projects are being cancelled/postponed so that companies have excuses to layoff even more people, then replace them with automation. We are being replaced by AI in real time.
#13
Audiobook Narrators. I am related to one and know several others. Apparently, they've combined existing voices to make different types of AI voice. Feed the text of a book into the AI, wait a bit, and you have an audiobook. It has already caused a significant reduction in the amount of available work.
#14
I am a writer and video producer. I already know people in my profession who have lost jobs. I think, in particular, writing and designing will be going away. “Just use ChatGPT” I hear regularly. The benefit people like isn’t that it’s good. It’s that it’s cheap and done. Glad I’m on the tail end of a long career. Hanging on the last few years…if I can.
#15
Bridal and formal wear stores/stylists. We’re already seeing stores close now at rapid rates. People are buying their wedding dresses and prom/homecoming dresses from SHEIN, Amazon and other cheaper online retailers like Azazie.
Brides still try and book appointments and tell us, oh I have a dress, I just didn’t get the “Say Yes to the Dress” experience, so I want to come in and try stuff on. We can’t compete with a $50 dress, and brides are caring less and less about quality, because “I’m only wearing it for a few hours.” Some bridal shop owners think they can ban together and write their congressional leaders and senators and stop people from buying online, and I said you really can’t. There’s really no way to take back the industry.
We are in the age of fast fashion, and cheap prices. Gone are the days of spending $1500 on a wedding dress and shopping with your mom and waiting 6-9 months for it to come in. It’s not about educating them, and teaching them about quality. It’s a different generation and we either get with the times or we get out.

Estimators. Im in construction. We have apps now that you can upload several pictures of the exterior of your home and it will calculate with acceptable accuracy the materials needed.It also will measure your roof without touching a ladder, measure trim, soffits and siding.It sends you a report with a full list of materials lengths of materials and % of waste. Also does 3d pics of what the hime will look like.Another app takes that info and calculates what the job will cost based on the region and aprox labor cost. This process would take days in the 90s.Complete game changer.

Really hoping to see real estate agents disappear in the near future.
Half_Man1:
I heard an interesting thing that they might!
Commission rates are too high and the market is over saturated with agents. Eventually an online platform is gonna develop to cut them out. Just like how people basically never use travel agents now.
Real estate agents might exist for large or complex sales but their rates aren’t reflecting the competition existing in their sector.
Susan 4 weeks ago
In reply to the "people basically never use travel agents now" They seriously should, for long distance trips at least. It doesn't cost you anything to use one, they usually find you better prices and can actually talk to you about what experience you want while traveling and help choose the correct accommodations for you based on preferences. Online most people don't use critical thinking enough so they just go "oooh pretty pictures, low price, I'll take it"
#19
Copywriting.
moal09:
I work in the industry, and a ton of people are being cut for AI even though it sounds like s**t half the time, but it's just good enough that a lot of companies don't care.
Even a lot of the remaining jobs want you to use AI in tandem, so you can pump out more volume faster.
iseefractals 4 weeks ago
We use AI for generating product descriptions and social media marketing posts. BUT it's only a jumping off point, we proof, edit and add things as needed. It's great for cranking out variations of a theme in short order, but the results aren't good enough to just copy/paste/publish as they come out. And quality and relevance fall off quickly for anything longer than a few hundred words. It's very much a tool, not a replacement.
#20
I would have to say traditional local in person bank tellers and walk in banks. I'm already seeing these new type of banks showing up. They look like gas stations without the stores and the gas pumps are video ATMs. To do your banking, you drive up to the ATM, request what service you want and if that service requires a teller, you'll be connected to a call center teller (quite possibly an overseas one or AI). If you need to cash a check or deposit money , you just enter them into the ATM. The downside to these is the massive loss of local teller job. You'll no longer have someone from your community to help you with your banking needs.
Nina 4 weeks ago
In the Netherlands you hardly have need for a person to help you with anything for banking. Depositing, withdrawing and getting coins for change can all be done with machines. It's been like that for quite a few years now. If you go to an office it's for opening an account or financial advise.

I feel like accounting software is getting so good that accounting clerks might be done in. Especially with efforts to make a lot of lower income processes more streamlined and automated there won't be a lot of point for this job anymore.
TotallyNOTAFox 4 weeks ago
I'm honestly surprised that accounting is still done mostly by employees to be honest as it's very easy to automate after most transactions became digital. Hell, all I did was typing in numbers into fields while the software did all the rest when I worked in accounting

In the USA, Locomotive Engineers on major freight railroads. Trains basically drive themselves now, all the Engineer really does is hit a dead-man switch, blow the horn, and ring the bell. A computer runs the train and even tells the Engineer when to apply the air brakes, the big carriers are pushing for One-Man Crews, and General Electric and the railroad electronics companies are pushing for programs that can run the train from a dead start to a dead stop. Locomotive Engineers aren’t even technically called “Engineers” anymore, they’re “Locomotive Operators.” Especially with the recent political regime and new head of the FRA, this reality is coming ever faster.

Paralegals. It’s scary but the legal world is embracing AI. Everyone heard about those lawyers who used ChatGPT and it cited case law that didn’t exist, but no one’s talking about how LexisNexis developed their own AI that won’t do that.
If an AI can summarize case law, write a brief, generate court documents- what does the paralegal do?
The only saving grace is that there are plenty of old lawyers out there who don’t even know how to e-file documents, so that may delay it a bit.
Eric G 4 weeks ago (edited)
Former attorney here. Sorry, but paralegals actually don't do that work. Associates (young attorneys) do. It's literally what law school trains you for. Paralegals help manage cases, discovery, calendars and filing for partners and associates. They might prepare discovery motions (like motions to compel) because all you're changing is the caption, names and dates, but not substantive motions. I can tell you with 100% confidence attorneys will never get rid of their paralegals. At least, at a defense firm. They are the backbone of law firms. Now, could I see those personal injury firms that have obnoxious ads doing that? Yeah. They are about greed.

Taking orders at fast food places. Not much of a profession but won't be a job long.
Carl Roberts 4 weeks ago
It already isn't, where I live. Every fast food place (Burger King, McDonald's, Wendy's, ect) now has a single cash register, with a sign that says "All orders must be placed using self-service kiosk. Cash paying customers must bring their receipt to the counter to pay.......and then stand there for 20 minutes waiting for someone to acknowledge your existence". Ok, I made up that last part about standing there for 20 minutes, but that's exactly what happens.
#28
What about drive thrus? Some places like Taco Bell are already doing it with the order taking. Not sure if they could do the actual food though.
xkulp8:
Fast food seems to be speedrunning getting rid of cashiers and trying to move everyone to apps or kiosks. Secondarily they seem to be getting rid of dine-in service in favor of drive-thru or pickup. McD's is phasing out self-serve beverages for example. Starbucks is opening new stores without seating areas. Much lower costs that way.
David 4 weeks ago
dont worry, the big companies are working with automation for making food too. They already have a machine that makes fries, salts them, and does it perfect and better than human workers. KFC is testing a Chicken machine for the frying as well. Burger King has 3 locations testing a machine that not only cooks the burgers, but assembles it, etc. Give a few years and all you will have is 2 people working a whole large fast food place, and they would be just loading the machines and pressing buttons. And cleaning up as well
#29
I do digital marketing for small local businesses.
We do their social media, websites, google ads, newsletters, blogs, etc. with the way AI is advancing, I really worry that people won’t need someone to market for them anymore.
Like that’s still way down the line, but I’m in my 20s. What is this industry going to look like when I’m 50?
It’s already really hard to find a job.

Music composition for film, movie trailers, commercials etc. It can all be automated now already. AI is being trained to replicate and sequence popular music just enough to avoid any copyright issues.
