CAD specialist.
It's gonna be a while, but I don't expect it to be completely safe.
My backup is construction management which I am also very much qualified to do. I very much doubt that's in any danger in the near future.
If both of those get completely taken over by AI, I'll revert to being a carpenter. Not ideal, but if that gets taken over by AI, we're at the point where workers have become entirely obsolete, at which point either universal basic income is a thing, or it's time for a violent uprising against our AI overlords.
An interesting thing about CAD is that the field got decimated in the switch to computers. You can choose to either go up the technical chain to be a great detailer or progress in CAD management since Autodesk and Bentley only do so much
