Future forecasters ponder the jobs that will be obsolete in 10 years: 'Anything with a reliable pattern'

More than once, I've marveled at the fact that the job I do is very specific to a particular place and time in a way that means it probably won't be around forever. Memes, as we know them now, may well not be eternal, and it's fair to say that any kind of vaguely media-related career has become increasingly difficult to maintain as the 21st century marches on.

However, this isn't the only industry to undergo seismic changes that are probably going to make certain jobs obsolete, or at least very difficult to obtain in the near future. In a gloomy Reddit thread, people predicted all of the roles that are likely to disappear in the next 10 years, and the list was a long and varied one. Long story short, if a machine can probably do it then we can wave goodbye to yet another form of employee.
