Can educators be replace by robots?

We thought being talented would save our asses. We thought working late and on weekends would save our asses. Nope. … In order to navigate the New Realities you have to be creative - not just within your particular profession, but in everything. … this is true for everybody. Janitors, receptionists, and bus drivers, too. The game has just been ratcheted up a notch. Hugh MacLeod, Ignore Everybody.

 According to the Quartz interactive graphic, "Is your job at risk from robot labor?", educators on the whole don't fare too badly. Based on three factors,  the median wage for various jobs; the number of people employed in those positions in the United States; and the likelihood that these jobs will become automated, the chart skews to the low-paying areas. 

Here are a couple interesting findings in the education category above:

• Far right dot -at 99% replacement probability? Library technicians
• At the 66% level -  librarians
• And with an under 20% chance of Robbie taking your paycheck - most categories of classroom teachers. 

While I could not find a "school technology director" category, all jobs in the "Computer and Mathematical" chart were pretty safe, except for computer support specialists (66%) and mathematical technician specialist (99%).

 A quick and dirty interpretation of this study is that if you want to stay employed in education, teach.  Simple.
