RE: Future Jobs

It’s almost impossible to predict which jobs or sector will offer long term stability in the coming decades. I remember questioning my eldest son’s primary school teacher about why they were insistent on kids learning cursive handwriting when everything these days is word processed. My suggestion was they’d be better off teaching them how to code and now (as one of your other commenters points out) even that looks like a redundant skill!

The best traits that young people can have today is to be adaptable, resilient and have the ability to acquire new skills quickly because those 3 career pivot points we’ve experienced are more likely to be 5 or 6 them.

Alternatively, they should study philosophy because whatever the specific changes in sectors and roles, we’re going to end up with a very different relationship between labour, capital and the state and someone is going to have to reimagine many assumptions about society that we’ve held (at least here in the west) for the last few centuries.
