My friend who is an electrical engineer said there's a very low risk of automation. In his own words,
"That job wont be automated any time soon. That and most trades are the safer ones when it comes to jobs being automated. The jobs to be worried about would be ones like data entry where theres ways to automate the system that never change
Power engineering there is too many variables to automate efficiently and thats why theyd need operators everywhere. Its a job thats increasing in demand with the amount of labor shortage because people dont do that type of work as much anymore where it is specialized and industrial"

Considering plant operator's main task at work is to check on the computers and machines and make sure they're doing their job right, and fix them if they aren't. It is a 50/50 shot that computers themselves would be able to problem solve and fix faulty machines / computers. If humans can't even regulate themselves, what makes you think that computers who don't posses the ability for accurate emotion recognition, can fix a faulty system in an accident / dire time where understanding the situation is at task?

Are Power Plant Operators the same as 3rd class power engineers? which is kind of the same thing. I'm 18 years old and not working yet, but I'm in rolled in a Power engineering course. Is there still a high chance that this trade is going to be taken by robots also?

Doubt it. And yes sort of, a power plant operator is one of the many jobs you can do as a power engineer. I'm also enrolled in a power engineering course. I have a friend who did a BSc in electrical engineering who's quite smart and in the know. He said there's no risk of automation with power engineering, at least not for a long time, like 50 years. I think this calculated risk level is way off.
