Doesn't matter.
Even if you're in a 'safe' field, the massive numbers of unemployed workers displaced by automation will start turning their attention towards and pursuing those few remaining lucrative job fields, thus oversaturating the market with labor, and eventually driving down your wages and drastically reducing your job security.
No one is safe from automation.

1% chance. Kind of expected it TBH.
A machine pretty much already does my job for me

How is there a 38% chance that actors an entertainers will be replaced by robots? That's the one field I wouldn't expect to be automated ever

I am going to make it through this year if it kills me
Current job, yes. Future job in medical, maybe not.

my job is so easy they could probably build a robot to do it
but the school district I work in is probably too poor to afford the robot so i'd keep my job

Doesn't that just mean you aren't doing your best work.

During my lifetime and assuming I live for at least 80 more years, then I'd say all jobs could be replaced.
Edit: Oh, 20 years. I'm pursuing CS so unlikely.

I think at least a quarter of the current labor force will be replaced, minimum. It's actually irrelevant if it goes higher than that; that's depression level deficits.

It probably should have already happened.
Hey, if they want to invest the 10+ years of training, more power to them.

Thanos acquires the fully powered Infinity Gauntlet in The Avengers: Infinity War, but loses when all the superheroes team up together to stop him.
Teaching?
I hope so.
I hope so.
That's also not considering the fact automation itself will drive down wages for the human worker. A race to these less-likely fields will only run it down faster.
A race to the bottom, quite literally.

I was thinking of becoming a prison chaplain. Anything is possible in the future, but I'd imagine these professions are at least as hard to automate (at least out of the preferences of the human user) as things like psychological counselling professions, you need to have a human viewpoint to engage with people in their human problems, a decent chunk of the service is just being understood.

Likelihood of automation?
It's quite unlikely (2%)
I am pretty sure it is 0 percent in my lifetime.

I mean an actor's job has already been heavily automated by CGI.
Once we can make CGI Fassbender why would you pay real Fassbender.
The thing says unlikely. I do tech support for financial analysts at a major finance company. I doubt a robot could do my job anytime soon as I try to help many people who don't even know the correct terminology anything on a computer. BUT tech is being made, and many of the applications they work on are causing less of a need for the people that I help
