I hate to say this, but I don't think that the ten jobs in question are at all safe from automation. Here's the list from the embedded video: musicians, art therapists, watch repairers, manufactured building installers, and manicurists and pedicurists. The article also includes technicians, therapists and teachers. You can see the line of thinking - if it involves a hands-on approach, it will resist automation. But, first, I don't think hands-on jobs will be safe - we will find that robots are able to perform highly technical tasks far more competently and efficiently than humans. But more to the point, many of the jobs simply won't be necessary in the future. Why would we need watch repairers? With self-driving electric vehicles, how much demand will there be for mechanics?
