Goodbye high seas, hello cubicle. Sailor -- the next desk job.

Could sailing be the next desk job? Some sailors of tomorrow will never have to get their sea legs. These sailors will be seated in office buildings on land, hundreds of miles from their ship, which won't have any humans on board. Automation is storming the transportation sector, eliminating some jobs and turning others into desk jobs. Sailors, pilots and drivers are slowly shifting from the high seas, blue skies and open roads to staid office buildings where they monitor vessels from afar.
