Plumbers, electricians, automotive mechanics. There is alot of skilled labor jobs like these that robots will never be able to do. Even 100yrs from now i highly doubt a robot will be able to install carpet at peoples homes yet alone replace a sway bar link that is rotted or replace a simple wall outlet after the drywallers messed up the box

Exactly. People are thinking of manual labor as just factory, warehouse and janitorial work... Yeah those jobs are fucked so is administrative, financial, and other process type office jobs... So most office jobs. Transportation is another doomed industry. Farmers and ranchers are going to have interesting next century. I can't see mining/ extracting needing people for much longer.

Construction, mechanics, firefighters, hopefully artists, teachers, care providers, scientists, engineers and probably sales people are all pretty safe.
