Customer to Zaba: I just lost my job at the burger joint to some dumb touchscreen and no one else is hiring. How can I possibly afford college? What should I major in so I can actually get a decent job?

Zaba: A recent Oxford study reveals 702 occupations are on the verge of being completely or partially automated over the next few decades, impacting half of the current work force.

    1. Telemarketers
    2. Title Examiners
    3. Mathematical Technicians
