Grave Digger
Grave diggers prepare burial sites in cemeteries. It is physical work that requires care and respect, and it is an important part of helping families honour the people they have lost.
This job holds up well against AI
AI cannot yet do much of what this job actually involves, and the work is hands-on, in the real world. Software alone can't do it. That is about as safe as careers get right now, though it is still worth learning to use the tools well.
