 Credit: Style My Soul, www.stylemysoul.com | Non-AI Careers In a rapidly evolving job market, we sought insights from professionals across various fields to predict which roles might decline in the coming years. From the diminishing role of travel agents to the waning demand for print journalism, here are five perspectives on the careers that could phase out from 2024 onward.
Travel Agents’ Diminishing Role Due to technology, travelers are becoming much more independent when it comes to booking their travel and accommodations, so there is a high chance that the career path for travel agents is likely to become restricted in the future. For travel agents to stay relevant, they need to ramp up their customer service and add value to build loyalty and trust that will ensure travelers keep using their services to book flights and accommodations in the future. - Leah Lambart, Career & Interview Coach, Relaunch Me Bank Tellers Becoming Obsolete Traditional bank tellers will likely phase out from 2024 onward. The expansion of online banking and financial technologies has changed how we interact with our finances, encouraging a shift toward digital transactions. This transition means fewer people visit physical bank branches, reducing the need for tellers. My prediction is not just based on technological trends but also on observing customer behavior toward favoring convenience and speed in transactions, which digital platforms better facilitate. - Ace Zhuo, Business Development Director (Sales and Marketing), Tech & Finance Expert, TradingFXVPS Retail Store Managers’ Decline A professional position or career trajectory that I foresee becoming obsolete starting in 2024 is that of conventional retail store managers. Due to the proliferation of e-commerce platforms and the growing prevalence of online purchasing, traditional retail establishments are encountering formidable obstacles in their efforts to maintain competitiveness. An increasing number of consumers have begun to favor the variety and convenience of online shopping, which has resulted in a decrease in customer visits to physical retail establishments and sales. Furthermore, technological advancements have empowered retailers to optimize processes and mechanize specific duties, thereby diminishing the necessity for conventional store managers. Consequently, it is my conviction that the waning demand for conventional retail store managers will persist over the forthcoming years, culminating in the obsolescence of this professional trajectory in favor of retail positions that are more heavily reliant on digital technologies. - Jerry Theobald, Owner & Real Estate Enthusiast, AZ’s Best Pool Service & Repair LLC Cashiers Replaced by Automation It is my opinion that with the advent of automated checkout, cashiers who currently work in traditional storefronts are likely to become things of the past. I recently went to a supermarket, where I noticed a significant trend toward more self-checkout kiosks. Automated checkout systems will likely revolutionize the retail industry and potentially make traditional cashier jobs obsolete. - Zoe Miller, Strategic Business Leader & Market Analyst, Tea Time Facts Print Journalism’s Waning Demand As per my understanding, digital media continues to dominate, and the traditional roles in print journalism may phase out. With the audience favoring online platforms, the demand for print publications dwindles. The accessibility of digital news reduces the relevance of printed newspapers and magazines. This results in journalists transitioning to digital formats or multimedia storytelling to adapt to changing reader preferences and technological advancements. This shift shows the evolving landscape of media consumption, focusing on the importance of staying current with emerging trends to stay competitive in the field. - Dhari Alabdulhadi, CTO and Founder, Ubuy Kuwait
