E-trading for fixed income sales and trading... Killing jobs?

So as you can see in the title.. Is it still worth being a credit salesperson at banks these days with the uptick in electronic trading? Will there still be a need for an institutional salesperson 10 years from now? I'm asking because I keep hearing everyone complain about this and obviously jobs have declined over the years but I'm beginning to question whether this is the right career path (especially with e-trading dominating credit markets)

Thoughts?
