If you are a doctor, lawyer or dentist, you might want to start saving your pennies. A construction worker or writer? Well, the good times are comings.

According to a report from TollFreeForwarding.com that looks at pay in the next 10 years, the incomes of those in more traditionally well-to-do professions will see a sharp decrease in their earnings by 2033. The hardest hit will be dentists, who’ll be making $13.72 less per hour in the next 10 years. Lawyers and doctors will earn $5 and $2.89 less per hour, respectively. (2033 projected salaries are adjusted for estimated inflation.)

While the trend points downward, no one’s going to need to start a GoFundMe campaign to help those professions out. That's because even with the drops, the three professions will remain the highest paid in 2033 — with doctors predicted to earn $118.62 per hour, dentists $73.94 per hour and lawyers $71.70 per hour.
