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.
你还记得未来主义电影中所展示的到处都是机器人的未来吗?好吧,这个未来并非如此遥远。机器人就要来了,而且他们会夺走我们的工作。
When choosing a college degree, it is important to be cognizant of the changing world and its changing demands.
当你选择一个大学学位的时候,了解这个变化的世界以及其变化的需求非常重要。
And so, I have found 5 college degrees that will be sure to be obsolete with the advent of new technology.
所以,我找出了5个大学学位,这些学位一定会随着新技术的出现而被淘汰。
1. Accounting Degree
会计学位
Basically, if Quickbooks can do it – you don’t really need your accountant.
从根本上说,如果商务财务软件可以做账的话,你就真的不需要会计师了。
More and more companies are coming up with ways to do taxes online.
越来越多的公司都在想办法网上缴税。
In house accounting is only truly necessary for larger companies, and tax accounting for most individuals can be done online directly.
只有规模更大的公司才真正需要公司内部核算,而且更多人可以直接在网上进行所得税核算。
A good alternative to this degree is finance, where you can be more dynamic in your career.
一个比较好的替代学位是金融,在这个领域里,你的职业发展可能会更有活力。
2. Hospitality And Tourism Degree
酒店管理和旅游管理学位
You know those kiosks that you check in to at the airport? That is the projected future of hotels.
你知道机场里那些(供乘客自助办理登记手续的)自助服务机吗?那就是酒店规划的未来。
Majoring in hospitality and tourism is a mistake, because most of that industry can easily be replaced by technology.
选择酒店管理和旅游专业是一种失策,因为这个行业中的多数工作很容易被技术所取代。
The need for hotel desk agents, travel agents, and more are truly dwindling.
对酒店柜台和旅游代理等人员的需求真得在减少。
3. Paralegal Degree
律师助理学位
Most of the duties of a paralegal can easily be done by a computer these days.
目前,律师助理的多数任务可以很容易地通过电脑来完成。
Filing and research can easily be done online, and does not require a human touch.
文件归档以及调研也可以轻轻松松地在线完成,不需要个人处理。
Law itself can be replaced by technology, so paralegal studies is the obvious first cut to the industry.
法律本身就可以被技术所替代,所以,律师助理研究显然会最先被这个行业所淘汰。
4. Broadcast Communications Degree
广播通信学位
Broadcast is an ever changing field.
广播是一个不断变化的领域。
The TV is no longer the main news outlet, and a degree in broadcast communications focuses on an outdated technology.
电视不再是新闻播送的主要途径,而广播通信学则是以一种过时的技术为重点。
Communication efforts are changing daily, from Snapchat to Facebook – we get our news in a very different way these days.
通讯工作每天都在改变,从阅后即焚(一款照片分享应用)到脸书,如今我们可以通过一种非常不同的方式来获取新闻。
5. Pharmacy Degree
医药学位
Your prescription can be filled by a robot.
你的药方可以由机器人开具。
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.
而且越来越多的药房开始有自动配药的打算,这个世界并非真正需要一位药剂师。
Become a doctor instead, as this job is very replaceable.
还是去当一名医生吧,因为药剂师的工作很容易被取代。
