With the advent of word processors and spreadsheets, work shifted from secretaries to other already employed office workers.

A similar shift is occurring with paralegals. Combine AI with massive legal data, firms could drastically reduce the hours of legal staff:

The same could occur for support staff in the medical field, e.g., radiology.

Doctors and lawyers themselves are unlikely to be as affected in the next several decades, except they may be under pressure to take up more clients or including more sophisticated analyses increasing workload. Job requirements will likely require higher and higher levels of education.

I'm under the impression that doctors and lawyers, and their well-funded professional associations, have significant input into legislation regulating their industries, so I suspect they will be far more vulnerable to obsolescence than most other industries.
