Why this score

Diagnostic tasks you perform today — identifying faulty sensors, calibrating shutter timing, reading error codes from camera bodies — are being absorbed by manufacturer-embedded AI diagnostics and automated calibration rigs. Your hands-on disassembly, micro-soldering, and mechanical realignment work remains harder to automate, but the shrinking volume of repairable units and the rise of sealed, modular designs are compressing demand for those skills too. The question is not whether a robot will replace your hands, but whether there will be enough repair-worthy equipment left to keep those hands busy.
