I was told that Marketing jobs are soon going to become obsolete because everything will be on the internet soon and no human interaction is needed. Do you agree?
Also...

The Internet is changing marketing, and will continue to. But it's quite a leap to go from there to "marketing jobs are becoming obsolete."
The question of whether human interaction is required isn't really relevant. Whether there is or isn't human interaction once someone is on the site, someone had to do the thinking about value proposition, target audience, positioning, etc., and then do some sort of campaign to get that person to the site in the first place.
Some good paying marketing jobs? Brand manager for any national brand would be an obvious place to start. There are also opportunities for people with specialized expertise in web marketing.
Yanno, people said the web was going to mean the death of printing as an industry, yet more pages are printed every year.
The concepts and theory of marketing are here to stay, and aren't changing much. The execution and tactics of marketing are undergoing revolutionary change. Be on top of those trends, and you'll find your way to one of those high-paying jobs.
Good luck,

No. You can't make sales without marketing. Marketing as we use to know it is changing but it will always be around. The internet is growing by leaps and bounds and the marketing sector is huge. You may want to look at this site. They have some products that they market and there are lots of sites.
