What do you think, what will be the professions of future, when we can automatize more and more jobs?

Could be the list changed by introducing transhumanism? (I rather think in direct brain-computer contact than someone willingly replace limbs for example.)

This trend is already well in progress. More jobs for warriors, gladiators, prostitutes, and show girls. Rich people go for frivolous excitement.

I can imagine things going into different directions, but any such is not mainstream science fiction and discussion of such is against forum rules.

Lifelong learning and staying current with technology are also important in this rapidly changing job market.
