How likely is your job going to be obsolete in 10 years?

Reading recent reports at elite college, it seems like the major/concentrations chosen are now heavily weighted towards computer science/statistics (STEM) vs. humanities and economics at ivy league schools where they were historically more popular.

etc etc

As more of the students skew heavily towards STEM majors, the jobs available also presumably will skew to analytics and programming. What happens to the current jobs that do not require much if any at all programming? How will your role evolve in 10 years? Will it even exist?

Not likely unless the robots get rid of property rights. It'll probably just keep getting easier actually. You used to have to pay couriers and shit just to get signatures.

I swear we have this thread every couple weeks.

Quant (ˈkwänt) n: An expert, someone who knows more and more about less and less until they know everything about nothing.
 

It's not necessary because it's not as effective currently, but at some point the technology will get there. For example, I was talking to someone from S&T and apparently trade support functions are still very manual even though the traders themselves have been replaced by quant programs. In some cases there are more support people than traders, which is fine because they make so much less money. However, at some point the technology will get good enough and you don't need as many support people around and automate those tasks.
