The 10 jobs where you're most (and least) likely to be replaced by a robot

Sit down restaurants have it, too. Chilis has little touch screens on the tables you can use to order, and to pay your bill. It won't be long before the have a robot bringing the food as well.

Think of it: Self driving tractors till the soil, robots bring in the harvest, self driving trucks deliver it, robots prepare it, and the customer orders it on a touch screen. What will be left for humans to do?
Well my farmer cousin can tell you there's a little more to it than meets the eye.
 
I'm sure that's true.

Don't count on it. Ignorance still has more of the popular vote than does actually making an effort to learn. Anyway, with jobs all automated, what will they do when they graduate?
Maintain the robots or harvest the onions. Unless there are earners there will be no welfare so it's really not optional.
Let's not forget we wound up doing something with all that agricultural labor John Deer obsoleted.
