It's a great thought-exercise, but there are a ton of tasks where it's still science-fiction to think robots are taking over anytime soon. Kristina Panos makes a great argument for which jobs we all want to see taken by robots, others that would be very difficult to make happen, and some that would just creep everyone out.

Last I looked plumbers still make more than doctors.

I keep hearing this, but all the data I can find does plumbers making on average ~$60k and general practitioners ~$140k.
