I think many jobs that can cost efficiently be run by a robot will do so, not in the near future ... but this year.

Many factory jobs, retail, cleaning will disappear.

I do wonder what jobs will remain, certainly most things in the Medical profession, almost all trades, construction.

Where do these people without said skills to go? Another renegade Rat-Lord from the Master pond of scum.

I can't say where exactly they can go since the skills vary from person to person, but I second the post above. Coding is the pen and paper of the 21st century and there's multiple free or low-cost resources online. One day coding will be viewed the same like how kids were first taught how to use a computer or use google, it will become common knowledge. My advise for everybody no matter the profession or how much wages one makes: best to start it now as that would be the fundamental skill to prepare for the job market shift that's to come.

Python, SQL, data analytics, machine learning are common topics I see in the job market for people who want to switch careers towards it quickly. Utilizing LinkedIn will be helpful too. You can make a profile and set your resume, current skills and interests so that notifications will tailor to jobs near your area that's a best match for you. It can always be updated if needed. Networking is crucial too so reach out to recruiters there and connect with them. Even if say you don't land a job immediately, stay in touch with them and ask for pointers how to improve and if any additional skills is needed. Check back periodically every few months and update your progress with them. Show interest in them and their company, get them to know you and that will increase chance of maybe in future them letting you know another job opportunity opened up and may be willing to give you a referral. If you are a student, utilize the career center and the mentors they have there to help guide through the process, point out any mistakes and fix them.


TLDR: Find a mentor,learn to code, make a LinkedIn, network network network!

LOL there are plenty of people who are incapable of even posting a thread in the right forum, and you expect them to magically become coders? Fact is, not everyone has the kind of logical mindset necessary to code well.

What we might see are increasing numbers of people entering more creative professions - artists, writers, designers of various kinds, or chefs.

In addition, I suspect that for jobs where robots become commonplace, the rich will be willing to pay a premium for human service anyway.

Alternatively, increased automation may lead to increased leisure time. Perhaps we'll see more e-sports players?

A robot can work for free 24/7 and doesn't need to eat or take a break! In the long run a company can save more money and production is more efficiently!
None of which answers the OP's question.

The definition of job may have to change. For example: caring for an elderly relative. Bob says:
A bank PIN will keep your items secure.
Always check the second trade screen.
Never trade in the Wilderness!
Keep your computer keylogger-free and virus scanned.
Never give your password out to anyone.

There is no magic involved, it's hard work and discipline. Logical mindset is something that can be developed and practiced over time. I’m only speaking of people who are scared their skillsets are not enough to compete in job market in the future and want to take action in changing that.

You’re right however that coding is not the only path to go, not everyone is interested in that. It’s one example I could think of since that can currently give the higher probability of job security for people who wish to switch from low-wage to higher pay (if they put in the work of course). I do believe coding will be more common practice in future as I see kids already learning it as a core class as early as elementary in public schools (USA at least).
Going back to OP’s post, if really one were scared to be replaced by robots because they think they don’t have sufficient skills for other type of jobs, then the first thing they should do is develop skills towards the career they want to go. In any profession in general (ie: E-sports or creative jobs like you say) business pitching, marketing will be helpful to have to gain a wider audience.

Lastly, it's good to also have additional sources of income (ie: investing, online freelancing etc) as backup stream of money in case one becomes unemployed. There’s many youtube videos that teach this as well side hustle ideas.

Game testing would probably be safe. Robots can't catch everything a person can for games.
"Where do these people without said skills to go?"
Expect welfare reliance to rise. These people are Blue Collar for a reason. Some simply can't advance to skill heavy jobs like coding.
