Topic: Preparing for the future. - page 11. (Read 1510 times)
You will be dazzled at the Salary a developer and programmer earns in my country and to tell you that this job are not valued two years back. But to be candid not everybody can be that, we need cleaners, receptionist and all to make life easier for us. We just need to strive for the best in this life
Unfortunately with the current projection of things, the pay from that job that you have spent most years in school preparing for and trying to get may soon not be able to sustain you economically in the near future. Also, that dream job/career that you are working and hoping so hard to get may soon become an obsolete profession due to the change and evolution in technology and ways of doing things.
My opinion on the way forward?
-Upgrade your mindset and break free from the old mentality of "Finish School, Get a Job, and work yourself for a paycheck to retirement". If you have a great job, and it is what you love, I'm not against it, but for the sake of the future...you must arm yourself with knowledge and learn a high paying skill that has future prospectives if possible.
Unfortunately I have found that the majority of information and knowledge that I was taught at school was just useless. I was not taught financial literacy and some other useful skills of how to be interviewed, where to find the job etc. The only thing that school really develop in a human is the ability to think and ponder and the ability to negotiate with people. My opinion on the way forward?

The future is always unpredictable, when we think the future will be good because we work or do business but because of the unexpected impact then the plan often fails, to improve the future the best thing is to invest, plan investment even with a small budget every month and this will make our future better.
True, business is often the best remedy to make our lives stable enough but it depends on what business you invest. We need to be careful in every decisions we make in our life, not all the time we need failure to learn because nowadays effort and money is very costly and world is changing constantly, it won't wait for us. Some businesses fail because they're already enjoying and forget to foresee the what the future holds. That's why investing in other 2-3 businesses or passive incomes can make you prepare enough for future plans.
And yes investing or acquiring some skills are indeed very important, we need to be versatile to remain afloat.

Somehow, you have a point that we need to break the cycle to be able to catch up with the time. We know that world changes drastically, we need to have a projection what to do for us to survive this harsh world, yes sitting in a 9am to 5pm job isn't gonna be enough because you're working to make your boss get richer while you make less. School didn't teach us the proper lesson about the world but instead gaves us wrong idea what to do, like go to school and work after graduate to have some few savings after retirement it's like forgetting the life we should have.
Those listed work or skills in the above are true as of todays generation, but we know for sure that in the future some of those jobs aren't gonna be the same like today or worse it'll be obsolete. Also, those skills stated above aren't just acquired or learned in the internet, you have to go to some academies or universities to make them teach you about that knowledge.
Unfortunately with the current projection of things, the pay from that job that you have spent most years in school preparing for and trying to get may soon not be able to sustain you economically in the near future.
I disagree with this. I graduated in College and living a life that I always dreamed of. I don't think that by not studying specially that these days competition is really hard where companies are hiring the top students having good credentials than those whos at the back of the classroom. I am in a construction field and this is one of the most in demand job out there specially that in my country, we are still developing. Lots of projects are out there are waiting with high income return. However, in the near future where less infrastructure are built upon, and digitalisation is already a global standard, I still don't think that those computer based work are much supreme than being a supervisor in a mall nor selling products. Diplomas never guarantee anything, nowadays skills are superior. Because not a few of those who graduate from college, if in the end they are not really serious in learning, they will only spend money in vain. Skills are not measured by how high a person's position is, because it can be bought if the person does have skills that can be learned by self-taught.
Nowadays people always have a negative stigma towards those who can't afford college. Though not necessarily college can be successful.
The future is always unpredictable, when we think the future will be good because we work or do business but because of the unexpected impact then the plan often fails, to improve the future the best thing is to invest, plan investment even with a small budget every month and this will make our future better.
Personally, I will work hard and raise enough capital and buy as more and more good coins and hold for future sake and them one day I will retire and enjoy my lambo in the 50s and 60s, I can't work like a donkey for the rest of my life when an average life span is 70 years.
Work hard while you are still in your early stage of life and enjoy tomorrow.
After getting into bitcoin investments, I am feeling like I am comfortable with my earning and I strongly believe that my future will be secured along with the returns from bitcoin investments. Still I agree that everyone must need to work hard so that we will save more and invest more into bitcoin (if they believe like myself) so that we will get better benefits in the future.Work hard while you are still in your early stage of life and enjoy tomorrow.
If it is possible for you to have multiple high paying skills, that is good, the problem is in not having any.
I guess we do not need to have multiple skills but with same set of skills we must create multiple income stream to secure our future. I mean it will not be possible for most people to learn and develop different skills but I believe everyone will able to work on different income stream to earn more. 
You can have all the High Paying Skills in the world, but it will mean nothing if there are high unemployment and stiff competition for work in this world. We have seen huge disruption in business with this whole Covid pandemic and a lot of people losing their jobs due to "lockdowns" ...so the competition for work has just increased more as a result of that.
A lot of websites has jumped on the bandwagon to pitch courses for high paying jobs, but people cannot afford it or it does not help them.. because jobs are scarce.

Well, everything related to IT and Computer science is always going to be the high paying skills now and in the future.
Why?
Because everything we use today is being run by a program.
POS, Cars, Motorcycle, Appliances, and etc. Almost everything we have today is being run by a program.
Even the blockchain technology.
So, Yeah i kinda agree to most of the specific list in the OP.

As some of the others have pointed out, the skills that were listed by the OP usually require a serious degree but at the same time some of them can be obtained from internet. I agree with the general idea and if I was 18 I would indeed consider these, nevertheless world is somehow also same and there will always be a huge need for energy, steel, logistics services etc. and these can be considered essential which are always solid areas of work.
Learning a new skill, in my opinion, takes time and sometimes money. We should devote all of our time and effort to learning these skills. The list has a lot of potential and will be in high demand this year and in the future. I believe that if you have the time to learn these things, you should invest in it and learn them properly because you will be able to use them in your future work.

It's not about the places that pay well, it's about enjoying what you're doing 10 years ago, none of the jobs were at their highest value, but they're now with excellent returns and that may change in the future. What I'm trying to say here is that everything changes so continue with education otherwise these current jobs may not have value in the future
To always evolve is the name of the game, many jobs have become obsolete during the last decade due to the advancement of AI and other technological improvements and there is no other way forward but to adapt to this new reality and improve ourselves constantly.If you can accurately predict where the demands is going to shift you can learn the skill before the demand actually shifts, and once it does you will have it already which means you will get to grow very rapidly due to the increased demand and the low supply of skilled people, all in all this is nothing new and it is something those that are trying to improve their lives have always known.

What a random list of jobs you've put together. The world in a hundred (or maybe several hundred) years is going to be a vastly different place to what it is now and really people need to be extremely adaptable to whatever skills are in demand. That demand will fluctuate, you speak of SEO work but a lot of that is automated and many of these jobs may be replaced by certain types of artificial intelligence in the near future. The world could be a vastly different place in a hundred years where hopefully work becomes optional (universal income) and automated systems do a lot of the hard work that people do now. It's better not to fear change, but embrace it and look for new unidentified opportunities.
But even then, you will still be working under someone for the rest of your life except if you are working on a project and decide to play your part in the project by doing the above listed skills you highlighted above.

Most of the listed courses above are professions not just a skill and people earn up to doctorate degree in pursuit of those courses. But it can still be acquired outside the four walls of a learning environment which could be online majorly from most free academies that offer this courses free. The cycle of life is gradually changing and approach to problems is taking a new format, so acquiring a digital skills can actually come in handy
There are many people who are not in the student life anymore and they don't have interest and time in learning the blockchain and all these concepts. For them the best thing is to invest in the crypto currencies and hold them for good returns. Of course this can only be done by those have money to invest.
On situations like these then you would really be mainly be wise on what are the things you should do which you do seem to be that potential
which could give out profits which would really help out on your financial.
Preparing for future is something we do aim for and we do all sorts of things for that particular matter.

Some jobs which demand human workforce in the 20th century like in the army or a space mission where human life will be in greater risked if anything goes wrong demands to be replaced by non-living machines whereas humans should move onto areas like research or finding out ways to make the repetitive work simpler etc. I think areas where repetitive work force is needed should be replaced by automations/AI in general for better well being and thereby trying to improve the world we live in to pave a better way for future generation. Moreover, entrepreneurs are decreasing at an enormous rate in the developing countries which can decrease the number of jobs as well.
For example, in a populated poor country like Congo where people used to live under $1 per day should be taught the basics of schooling so that the children over there can help the GDP of the country to rise to an extent thereby supporting the needy.
The Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) education system is plagued by low coverage and poor quality. 3.5 million children of primary school age are not in school, and of those who do attend, 44 percent start school late, after the age of six.
Should the government be blamed for this or the people who live there? If we are able to correct the roots, we would be able to offer jobs for the 2-3 billion you have been pointing out in the post above

You mentioned some high paying skills but more than all of them I'm thinking about ai and machine learning in my own idea time after time and by doing more research in this field we can see more intreating ai systems and devices, so I would mention and ai and machine learning at least between 3 top items. After that, blockchain can and blockchain programming of curse can be a very good paying job because there are many companies entering in the field and the will hire people with a good salary, also there are not many professional people in this field yet and there is still empty space for the people who are interested.
