this is a bimodal distribution. my plumber/electrician/mechanic and my investment banker/lawyer aren't going to be replaced by robots any time soon.

  Your investment banker might be replaced sooner than your plumber.

  Why wouldn't your investment banker be replaced? Most trades are by bots anyway.

    wrong job. i suggest you consider that you may not know as much as you think you know; this is one of those points in your life where cognitive dissonance kicks in.

  I once worked for a company that aimed to replace investment bankers with their robots. Basically an AI that reads news and other data sources, and gives stock trading advices.

    investment banker != trader or investment manager an investment banker typically advises on M&A transactions which is a very human business where your career path is strongly correlated with your social skills and status rather than technical knowledge.

      correct - it's a sales job. very few people actually know what an investment banker does. it's just selling or (selling disguised as) buying ownership of shit to rich people.
