I wonder if I infosec would still be a thing? I see a lot of improvements in security which if they catch on in that time will make things a lot more secure. I think what people miss on this thread is a lot of jobs will still be around just paying less with less people doing them. 50 years is too far ahead for me to predict anything. Although in IT, I think networking folks would be the last to go, not because you can't automate stuff but because short of a utopia, politics means different networks will exist and by definition networking connects stuff so computers can't fix themselves if they can't connect outside of a failed segment and technical burdens mean networking changes will be last to happen (basically no one uses ipv6 in private lans now for example). I think the global south's prosperity will mean a lot more software jobs, just not in the west. In the short term, I see retail getting decimated. Customer service is horrid and people who work those jobs complain endlessly. If AI is capable it would be much better to deal with than people. I have this idea of a completley unmanned (except one maintenance person) restaurant for example. I manned retail will always be there but there is huge room for unmanned retail. Not now but maybe in 10 years robots that clean up a mess, fold cloths and deliver meals to a table will be a reality (although my idea would have the meals delivered to tables without needing a robot). The police,politicians and lawyers will be plenty even 1000 years from now in my opinion.
