Facilities Managers play a crucial role in ensuring that buildings and services meet the needs of the people who work in them.

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.
