Calibration and Precision Instrument Technicians
Calibration technicians check and adjust measuring instruments so they give accurate readings. Their work is essential in hospitals, factories and labs where exact measurements matter.
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.
