Is PWM and PB still a viable career path?

Is it risky for a college undergrad to go into PWM or PB with robot advisors and passive investing taking center stage?

If someone is interested in PWM/PB should they pursue it or pick something else, if so, what is the alternative? What other jobs are in finance that are related to investing and the market because most of them seem to be disappearing (S&T, ER, AM).
