I personally see a lot of potential for automation, -just tonight I was out working for a non-profit that saves a lot of hassle because I learned them a few Excel tricks back in 2012.

Another place I was paid for less than 20 hours and it shaved two hours of preparations for the run of a machine, meaning they could keep it for several years more.

Actuaries are exceptionally well trained professionals who use incredibly sophisticated automation. They do not need help with Excel macros.
