Are travel agents still in demand despite the ease and convenience of the internet?

Question

I am considering getting into a career as a travel agent but am a little apprehensive due to the accessibility and convenience of the internet. I know I love to plan and organize my own trips but does everyone? I just wanted some feedback as to whether or not you think going to a travel agent is an outdated practice. I was considering specializing in either luxury travel at budget prices, or accommodations and activities that are out of the ordinary (i.e. non-touristy, local activities and lodgings).
