Most jobs do not require congnitive labor. They require following rules, policies and best practices. Independent thinking might even be discouraged. Much of accounting/finance, law, medicine, and business administration fall in this area.

Research and problem-solving in these fields may still need cognitive work, but the day-to-day practice of jobs does not. AI will take all of that work soon.
