5 College Degrees That Will Be Extinct In 20 Years by Nobody: 4:14am On Nov 16, 2016 |
5 College Degrees That Will Be Extinct In 20 Years Do you remember when futuristic movies would show a future full of robots? Well, that future isn’t so far away. The robots are coming, and they will take our jobs. The technological revolution we are in is not stopping anytime soon, and automation is a huge part of its growth. We have witnessed this change before, and that was the Industrial Revolution. The solution was creating a more educated workforce to handle more complex issues, and again our solution to this issue lies in education. When choosing a college degree, it is important to be cognizant of the changing world and its changing demands. And so, I have found 5 college degrees that will be sure to be obsolete with the advent of technology. Accounting Degree Basically, if Quickbooks can do it – you don’t really need your accountant. More and more companies are coming up with ways to do taxes online – from Turbo Tax to H & R Block. In house accounting is only truly necessary for larger companies, and tax accounting for most individuals can be done online directly. The changing course of this career requires less number crunching and more insight. A good alternative to this degree is finance, where you can be more dynamic in your career. Hospitality and Tourism Degree You know those kiosks that you check in to at the airport? That is the projected future of hotels. Majoring in hospitality and tourism is a mistake, because most of that industry can easily be replaced by technology. The need for hotel desk agents, travel agents, and more are truly dwindling. Paralegal Degree Most of the duties of a paralegal can easily be done by a computer these days. Filing and research can easily be done online, and does not require a human touch. Law itself can be replaced by technology, so paralegal studies is the obvious first cut to the industry. Broadcast Communications Degree Broadcast is an ever changing field. The TV is no longer the main news outlet, and a degree in broadcast communications focuses on an outdated technology. Communication efforts are changing daily, from Snapchat to Facebook – we get our news in a very different way these days. Pharmacy Degree Your prescription can be filled by a robot. That is a simple idea to grasp. More and more drugstores are turning to this idea of an automatic pick up or drop off, and there is no real need for a pharmacist in this world. Compounding is still relatively used, but as big pharmaceuticals dominate the playing field – the need for compounding will dwindle as well. Go big and become a doctor instead, as this job is very replaceable. Copied. 2 Likes |

The op irks of ignorance, who thought accounting is all about Dr and Cr. I am also quit sure he aint gat no idea how this accounting packages works which were made to make BASIC accounting work less stressful and easy to compute. There are different branches in accounting; Financial accounting, Management accounting, forensic accounting, Auditing, Fund accounting and Tax accounting among others. So how can pearchtree, quick book and other accounting package be useful in Auditing for instance. Don't just sit down in your room and form an opinion about something you have no idea of, it is your opinion right? Yea I get it, but boldly posting it as fact is were the issue is. 4 Likes |

The Op is shallow. Professional courses are in tune with technology. For example in medicine, there are machines that can diagnose and prescribe drugs and there are robots that can effectively carry out surgical proceeding. so with all these improvements will there be extinct ? Accounting has many branches such as auditing, forensic , management etc. what quickbooks, sage50 offer is basic accounting. Beta remove accounting from there b4 thunder fire you. |
