Doubt it. But likely 5 years in your job if you get one, you might be.

>it seems more and more likely that all knowledge-based professions are at risk of being automated sooner rather than later.

Look at robots. Mix the 2, and it is most jobs.

Except robots will take a decade+ before being even remotely proficient. And that doesn't take into account the massive manufacturing network needed to be built from scratch to produce enough robots to even remotely affect the world.

So that's what? 20-30 years minimum before you see any visible change to manual jobs requiring fine motor skills starting to get some automation pressure? And that's probably an optimistic scenario.
