A BuzzFeed roundup compiles 28 Reddit responses to a question about careers that could become obsolete within a decade. Commenters cite AI, automation and online services as risks to customer support, design and driving jobs; these are opinions, not established forecasts.
Suggestions also included paralegals, basic translation and data-entry work. One software engineer said their job could look very different within 4–5 months but would not disappear entirely; a mail carrier speculated that the role might become obsolete in their lifetime.
Some respondents pushed back: one said AI’s capabilities were being overrated and a decade was too short for a career to become obsolete. A truck driver who expected self-driving vehicles eventually to replace drivers said the technology was still in its infancy and much physical infrastructure would need rebuilding.
