Topic: Preparing for the future. - page 12. (Read 1503 times)

I feel that we're on the same page mate well aside that I'm not really interested in Web Development, I am currently continue acquiring skills and knowledge and planning to apply for a job within the month but those high paying jobs that OP have had listed some are requiring a degree and certificates, can't afford the degree so I am only enrolling in many online educational platforms related to the field that I wanted to pursue and gain certificates. While I am improving my skills in trading crypto and stocks I am also upscaling my knowledge more in technology, I wanted to become a tech savvy crypto traders and investors and earning fixed income too at the same but aiming to do it on my own pace.

all i can say is your bitcoin and invest until you accumulate a large amount soo it's time for yourself even if you don't finish school also study while,even you still in bitcoin because one day we can't say how long it will end or after  a year bitcoin has no value I'm not saying lose bitcoin but its you prefer what we are now atleast when the right time comes you are ready for yourself not only to be a bitcoiner but to be a professional someday.

I quite agreee with The Pharmacist here.

Moreover, it is not only biased in this. Those of us who are middle aged have a harder time acquiring new high-paying skills as cited. I'm not going to become an Algorithm Designer or work in Coding and Software Enhancement.

But the way I have been preparing for the future, and have been doing for years, has been saving and investing. If I were to become unemployed now, I wouldn't be able to live on rents for the rest of my life but I could hold on for a while, and in the meantime I would get income from poker, signature campaigns, dividends and I could even sell small amounts of Bitcoin.

So I think The Pharmacist has hit the nail on the head in that the article is too biased about tech jobs.

Interesting topic. Majority of us basically do whatever it takes to try and reach the top despite our personal preferences and this is a fact. However, the minority including me care more about finding a job that we love primarily.

The best way to prepare for the future in my opinion is to focus on the profession that you love and acquire skills related to that profession. Don't focus on what others think of your preferences.

Years back someone with the passion for these have turned their passion as profession. This is what success is all about. Right now we're thinking of the high pay and moving towards it, leaving our passion. As mentioned it is all about education that matters, because with time development changes its direction. Only education can keep us on the track. For now it is BlockChain and associated development. For the future which is gonna take control of the world is under study.

maybe .... in the future competition and the number of graduates are no longer in need so they can't guarantee a job for them
but the most basic thing is opportunity and opportunity, sometimes it is not in line with what we have learned in school, not this is very irrelevant with what they have prepared ....

Can you elaborate? What is the source of this claim? Because there's a lot of professions like lawyers, doctors, engineers and so on that will still be relevant and high-paying in the future. And getting into trendy profession simply because it's trendy is actually not the greatest idea, those fields quickly become saturated, and employers aren't looking for just anyone to do the job, they are looking for people will talent and passion.

This couldn't be more cliché.

Specialized professions always paid more than simple 9-5 jobs, yeah I know it. But, you know what? I've bored watching a sudden rush of young people wanted to become rich by doing some easy, weird, savvy work they've seen from social media. Yes, if you make an account that'll reach 100k followers you may have a decent allowance, but have you any idea how many people fail on their way to do so? Besides, what do they gain from it besides this temporary recognition?

When they see how hard it is, they feel blue, because they believe they're incapable. This is why I sometimes hate the cryptocurrency industry. It has make the youth think that there's an easy way to enrich themselves if they buy the proper shitcoin, instead of spending their time doing something practical and useful for the society.

Also, Pharmacist, great writeup!

I agree that there will always be need for people, but that need is growing smaller and smaller every single day. The problem is not that we will still have a job, it is about how many jobs will there be and how many people will there be? Right now we are getting quite closer to 8 billion I suppose, over 7 billion people in the world and I am pretty sure we do not have enough jobs for all of them.

Let's assume half of those numbers are people who are too old to work or too young to work, we still have 3-4 billion people that needs to work and unemployment globally shows that we are not there at all. All in all we will have a big problem when robots are taking some of that job, even if 1 billion jobs are taken by robots, and 2-3 billion is still left, we will not be able to find job enough to cover all the people who need a job and that is the root of the problem.

I am studying something I have passion for, I love you safe life and nurse people back to health, am not sure of how much am going to be paid for doing this and if I have enough I might be giving free services for this, some of us Don't see our professions for money although the money may encourage some but not me, I am passionate about it and if my profession gets technical and it saves life's I wouldn't mind that, I want to pursue my dreams and if crypto-currency gives me millions I will use some of it to make health care affordable, it's about the dreams you have in doing the profession you want.

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

As far as I know, skills are something that is unique and can be honed by anyone. But to be able to compete and survive in the era of development in the future, we need these unique skills according to what we like. I can't force myself to master some of the lists you've written. I'm just trying to do what I can at the moment, even though it's not considered extraordinary for some people. In this sophisticated era, many people are competing to occupy vacant places, or some kind of financial-generating sector that is not touched by most people out there. What comes to my mind now is to be myself by taking advantage of the available resources.

You know, right from time people who always hoped that they would graduate and get a job and start making money, they usually end up on the losing side. It’s always best to plan yourself ahead of time and always make sure you’re up to date with trends on the Internet, that way you will be able to tell what’s working and what’s not really going to work.

This time around is good that there are now lots of universities that you can attend online and be able to acquire new skills that can help you to land any job you would like to get.  Just like when blockchain became a trend in the industry, I know a few people who attended an online university and got a degree to be able to become blockchain engineers. So, that’s really the way to go and I really appreciate the suggestions that you have made. I’m also going to encourage people to lookout for opportunities like this.

Most people think they need a job after the end of the student life. This isn't bad at all if we have a fixed income source. But we shouldn't fix and limit our knowledge for that job. We can do more things out of the job if we need multiple income sources. And it's always will help you to improve your lifestyle.

Actually, I am interested in coding in Web development. I feel it's a very hard task to learn. I am not sure if I can learn it. Due to lack of time can't spend much time though but strat watching YouTube videos to learn. But sadly anything not entering my mind. Besides that, I am in cryptocurrency for a long time. Don't want to depend on only one job since I already left my job from abroad and trying to do something myself. Not sure I would succeed or lose.

Particularly automobile industry is getting automatic which means the driver job will be obsolete in the future and jobs like being a labour in the industry wl be replaced by bots but certain industry will never take a bkw which is food and medical if I am nkt wrong so focus on those sectors to get better success rate and avoid being a technology guy because not everyone is going to become a developer since there will be no more consumer then.

I agree with some of your point being presented but I don't think that not going to school makes a difference also. I love in a 3rd world country where applying for a job needs a degree or a diploma even for those at the sales department. Well for me, it is wise for us to adopt in these changing times. 1 work will never suffice for the preparation of our future. It needs a decent paying job and a side hustle added by investments. In my country, working for the government is great rather than those private firms. It pays a decent salary but still small compare to sales. And btw, Social Media creators/influencers earns more money than most profession.

I would like to agree with this for sure. Human brain is a very complex processor which can probably reach 1 exaFLOP calculations per second but the fastest supercomputer Fugaku has just reached 400-500 petaFLOP calculations which when maximized can reach 1.42 exaFLOP per second. Although we are faster in terms of hardware and had successfully reached 1/2 of the human brain processing power, software hasn't reached the stage to make a completely self-dependent AI which can think on it's own. For the beta stage of a fully human equivalent AI to come out to the public, it might take another century or two but they might still not be able to challenge the human intelligence IMO.

Obviously the repetitive jobs will and should be replaced by AI and automated workforce like robots so that humans can work on the ways to improve these machines for performing even more complex tasks. If the current gen youngsters are still working on a manual job, they need to learn something new and move on to other jobs which won't be replaced by automations or AI anytime soon. For instance Manual QA job is a dying field and there would be absolutely no scope or future in working as one since automations are killing the respective field and might be replaced completely anytime soon within a few years.

Similarly gambling shitcoins for the next 100x alone won't sustain for long term and obviously it would reach a miserable death in a few more months. Rather than that, building something on top of cryptocurrencies like a new exchange or a new alt chain or a NFT or contributing towards Bitcoin and getting hired by Square will be beneficial for long term. Manual jobs will and should be replaced by automations and AI whereas humans should start focusing on ways to improve this world for the betterment of the future generations.

Future belong to those investors that prepared well. Now that many countries are try to recover from what covid-19 virus has collapsed during the pandemic. Many investors are well prepared for the future in case there is any economy shaking they can use bitcoin or other crypto to balance the shaking in the country.
Buy now that the price of bitcoin are gradually decreasing in the market, to enable you to make a reasonable profit in the future. Use this strategies to view the market price before you buy because their are many coins that look good to buy which are not good for future profit making.

Skill is good to have and it dont have to be as numerous as numbers, to be focused is person who have a perfect and be consistent to the such kind of skill, having different or thousands of skills will definitely divide the attention of the person's career and the person in particular won't be focused, and remember that some of the working skill listed is not every that can sustain live with that. Because it might work out some people but not all.

The future remains uncertain to us, what matters is now and what we are doing to blend in the moment, as the world advanced new technology come in that shape the way we do some certain things, some people already adapting to this new ways while others are still finding their way,   for example, because of the pandemic lots of things have changed, many people even with this high skills don't have a job (something nobody anticipated for) the Internet becomes a saving grace for most people with skills, well not everyone is lucky enough to nail that high flying job despite their qualifications,  I think preparing for the future is not just having a specific skills or profession, it requires more and since the future is uncertain you will never know until you get to that period.
