Property Investors and Developers
Property investors and developers buy land and buildings, improve them, and sell or rent them on. Their work creates new homes, shops, and offices where people live and work.
This work is being absorbed by AI
AI already does much of this work and nothing structurally requires a human: no licence, no physical task, no relationship at the core. Expect fewer people in higher-judgment roles: enter as the person directing the tools, not competing with them.
