The goal isn't to have a future-proof job, the goal is to future-proof yourself and your knowledge so you'll always be able to make money.
Continue to add to your skillsets to stay on top.
Talk to me again when you're 50 and tell us how malleable your brain is... are you still as nimble in picking up new skills? Who cares about pesky things like biology?
@@coniccinoc Preach 🙌
@@coniccinoc and what about people that can't keep up? and who are you staying "on top" of?
Ah yes, that is wonderfully unspecific
Being unemployed is always future proof.
Lmao
wait until they invent a reclino drinko 5000 buddy
Timeless
"Do you know what you want to be when you grow up?"
As someone who just recently turned 30, I can confidently say that I still don't.
I turned 40 this year and I still don't know. 😂
There is a book, written by Scott Adams, that can change your life. Not selling anything, get it free from a Library, I don't get a cut of this thing : ) "How to Fail at Almost Everything and Still Win Big". I am a rich old guy who loves to give advise on how I did what I did but every good bit of advise I could offer is in that book. Good luck.
I discovered a while ago, I am 26, and I can say making money and enjoy it hahaha having freedom is the best
Tell me about it! I had a life-long career plan at 19, studied, worked hard. But am now 26 and wanting to restart my career from square one. Here's to all of us going with the flow and figuring it out!
@@naveerakhan9622 what was your plan?
You guys have a lot of viewers, but you deserve a lot more. Thank you for your two cents.
They deliver excellent messages beautifully making the world just a little better for those who listen.
@@coniccinoc Wow. Thank you!
"Kidding. Not kidding."
"Have you tried turning it off and on again?"
Oh man the little asides and details in all your videos are DELIGHTFUL!!!
I’m a massage therapist and I suspect our field will keep growing since most Americans develop poor postural habits. Thanks, computers, for keeping me in business!
Ive thought about going into this as a nurse. How hard is it to work for yourswlf
@@Politegirl686 Trust me, people always want their backs rubbed. The main thing on that job is keeping yourself cared for, if you care for you, your body, and your energy, you're able to carry on. I made a good living for a few years doing it.
Well, if people keep losing jobs, how will they pay you?
Robot hands are now able to handle strawberries... how much longer until robot hands are gentle and targeted enough to massage independently? There will still be those who want massages from human hands for pleasure and entertainment, but those who are getting massages for utilitarian reasons (for physical therapy, for example) might be happy with a cheaper massage from a robot.
haha yeah.... massages for posture haha...
Was working in tech support in 2011, had a customer call and say she "never got behind that email thing". Her business was failing and that line summarized why. Even though her industry is still around she could not compete individually with the people who kept up with the times.
Oh
I hear that horseless carriage and that electricity thing might be important, but I say bah. Indoor plumbing you say? Who needs it? Back in the day if you wanted to send a message, you just started a camp fire and send smoke signals.
@Raj Nair Nature is a casualty of technology, a horrible price to pay for increased comfort. I am guilty of buying stuff that encourages investors to destroy.
I get so many people telling me they don't know how to use the computer, or don't want to but like you said, it's either get with the times or get ledt behind
For sure, we all need to make sure we're continually learning and growing. Doing things the same way just because 'that's always how you've done it' doesn't work to future proof yourself.
I'm a dietitian. I thought my job would be replaced when I was starting out, but there is a shit ton of counseling and empathy in this job that I didn't understand at entry level. It's basically a specialized counselor.
"You should start a job in an emerging market, like Genetics!"
Oh sure let me just go get my PhD at the Walgreens on the corner, and I'm ready!
Learn how to code, no need to get a PhD or any of that crap
You can be a lab technician without a PhD.
@Tyler not as difficult as you may think, is pretty easy just need to build a good portafolio, nowadays nobody cares about degrees in the tech industry, they care about what you know, tech just moved so fast and college and degrees are completely outdated to be honest, whatever you learn there is likely to be obsolete once you graduate, I am working at a programing job and I didn't even study computer science like many of my co-workers, but go for that phd, see you in 10 years then haha
@@gabrielbarrantes6946 I got my BS in computer science and MSE in Software Engineering.
You can’t just go work in genetics because you know how to code, it doesn’t work like that.
Also I’ve got a feeling you don’t work in software either but I guess I’ve been wrong before.
@@gabrielbarrantes6946 now I know you’re talking out of your ass and this is some bullshit your friend at your community college CS100 class told you.
95% of hiring managers care if you have a degree. Especially now when there are CS grads everywhere. Some without a degree, and an AMAZING portfolio can go get a good job. Most without a degree will never find employment, their portfolio is nowhere near good enough.
Everyone needs a portfolio, even those with degrees. But your portfolio is accompanied by your CV and most people won’t look at your portfolio if they don’t like your CV.
Edit: unless your programming job is as a code monkey making $35k a year. With the most simple of tasks.
You don’t have the math background we have. You don’t have the algorithm development background we have. You haven’t gone through the engineering courses. You’re literally incapable of programming legitimately emerging technologies.
Unless you also taught yourself linear algebra and differential equations. Get real.
FYI: the bald guy in the picture is actually Plato not Aristotle. Aristotle is the guy next to him
That moment represents like my main problem with finance/economic focused people.
I taught about this yesterday tho , Greetings from Florida, Please i know this information might not be for all , In investing, what is comfortable is rarely profitable. I have been making profits through an expert trader Helen and I feel it is very important I share to y’all my testimonies of the profits she has made me in trading.
@@ryanthompson8256 i also had my first encounter with Helen on a comment section here , i did not have an idea of trading but she guided me , Profitable trading plans should give the same results over and over again that's why I trust Madam Helen with my trades and account. Her strategies and knowledge of the market has been an asset to me especially in this times. i have made over $22,000 since i began working with her platform some months back
Does she deal on Forex?
Crypto is the future, investing in it now will be the wisest thing to do especially with the current rise
I went back to school to get a nursing degree. During the Great Recession, my newly-minted B.A. in history was as useful as you'd expect. It ended up being a great investment. You can't go wrong with healthcare!!
Nice
I’m a RN too. It will be interesting to see what the future holds. Tele medicine, nursing informatics, etc.
Healthcare is also becoming more complex because advances in medicine help people live longer.
You can't blame the recession. A history degree is pretty much useless. Your job opportunities are low no matter what time period it is.
Enjoy the burnout and politics involved in Healthcare setting. 🤔
@Tyler Yeah admin has a lot of redundancy. Those jobs could be cut anytime without noticing a difference. That goes for schools as well.
We could totally have 15 hour work weeks. Most people only put three good hours in five days a week
16 hours - 4 * 4 as well as having shifts (twice) - Technocratic calendar
As a computer scientist, I didn’t realize my job was to remove the need for other jobs. I’ve sadly automated hundreds of jobs out of existence. I often work with AI, and it is scary how capable it is at taking over most jobs. The greatest issue to overcome for society is that easier to automate jobs are often lower paying jobs where workers aren’t well trained or educated. This means these workers can’t just change careers because they don’t have the problem solving skills or resources to do so. Especially after losing their paycheck…
Sad
@@thecashewtrader3328 My job isn’t even secure. GitHub Autopilot is an AI that writes code for you. You tell it what your required functions are, sending a message, ordering inventory, etc and it will write blocks of code for you. I can then choose between 10 different blocks of code to choose what way is best for my unique solution. In ~15 years, coding will be much less of my job.
@@collegedegree8506 copilot violates the gpl
Also it doesn't write secure code
@@thecashewtrader3328 True, but the technology is there. It’s about having the rights to collect data and use the data. And like I said, I get to choose the code I want and can still make edits. After ~15 years of thousands of us using autopilot… I think it’ll be much more capable at writing secure code.
Especially if my edits can be saved and used to retrain the system…
@@collegedegree8506 I see
I honestly just spit my tea on the part and burst out laughing in tears when the robot advised 'have you tried turning it off and on again?
Like? This is peak comedy gold for me, especially at 2 AM.
Stripper- therapist, entertainer, and elderly care 😆
This is a dumb question, by entertainers do u mean actors?
Do all 4 at once.
Services also
The last part of this video is key. Until you've retired, you need to continue to pay attention to market trends and learn new skills. It sucks, but if you refuse to keep learning, you're one step away from being SOL if you lose your job. And yes, robots won't replace jobs like plumbers for at least another 25 years or more.
Or you could realize over half the population puts in zero effort into improving any "skills" and still survives, mainly because the governments of the world take care of them.
Absolutely, we need to embrace continuing to learn and grow. It's never good to let your mind and skills go stagnant. Plus it's very humbling in a good way to learn a new skill, makes your brain feel good!
I'm a primary care physician. As long as we, as a society, keep eating like we are, I'll have a job. It might become easier as computers will do most of it, but they'll need us still. I'm open minded and tech savvy, interested in medical robots. I'll just have to adapt.
I see
Plus people like to be taken care of by people
@@chad4698 I'd prefer to be taken care by a machine. I'm not really a fan of humans 😁😅
I worked as a RN on a covid unit. Some specialists were too worried about the virus to visit a patient in person and had to rely on the electronic chart, iPad interactions, or Bluetooth headphones to operate.
Last year was a hot mess and it’s deja vu all over again.
@Tyler Engineers, Physicist and Mathematicians will be last.
Moreover, I totally agreed with you. Future
generations will have a tough time competing with AI machines.
The arts aspect of this video really shifted lol
"Horses aren't out of jobs because there are no jobs, horses are out of jobs because they are unemployable. In the future, we may end up in a place where all jobs have a sign that reads: Humans need not apply."
Quoting CGPGrey
I see you are a man of culture as well
That future seems a long way off though
Except we programmers lol (Someone has to teach and program those robots)
I say try to keep your mind sharp and adaptable just in case your job isn't future proof
Yeah, aging isn't real. People at 45 are as nimble and easy learners as 16 year Olds. Don't believe that pesky thing called biology.
@@john7787 the old and weak get left behind. Too bad.
@@EarthsGeomancer yeah that's exactly what Nazis thought. The disabled, the sick, the weak, the jews, ... etc. And that's why we're fighting against the likes of yourself
@@john7787 Nah, leaving them behind to reap what they sowed because they made bad choices like not getting educated and being stubborn to learn new things is not the same as active extermination. Way to exaggerate.
@@EarthsGeomancer you must be conservative being so bright.
Yes, someone who stayed up to date on technology will definitely be able to keep up no matter their age. Stay on, you'll have a great future, conservative!
I kinda expected a skillshare sponsorship at the end lol when you talked about learning new skills and such lol
That would have been a clever sponsorship :)
Your statement by itself makes the ad unnecessary. The company’s name is already ingrained in your mind.
Huge props for mentioning an impending labor shortage. This automation is necessary to maintain a standard of living with the demographic shift.
So true. Same reason why Japan has invested so heavily in robotics.
African population going to explode in 20 yrs Nigeria will be at top
@@mayanksingh0044 nigeria already at the top in africa
"art is safe"
Mid Journey : "art was safe"
Before I retired, I was assigned to a group that is working on applications to automate a field I have been working in for nearly 4 decades. I designed automotive components. Technology now exists that, when implemented, can update complex panels in minutes by an inexperienced engineer. This level of change would have taken an engineer with decades of experience days or even weeks to update. Both high tech and low tech jobs are in the crosshairs.
Wow
It's a scary world
At what point do we move from an economy based on working all-together to one where ALL our basic needs are met. One where we enjoy life and when we do "work" we are creating art, exploring space, discovering cures for the common cold. I think once we realize that most jobs are unnecessary, we can come together and be a better species.
The word "necessary" here means very different things to different people. Until we can define our terms in the same way, we'll make no progress in this discussion.
Lol your silly idyllic world isn’t possible, “discovering cures for ____” nobody is gonna do that without funding. Funding requires grants, grants require governance, you can’t remove these systems and allow some doctor militias to go around peddling snake oil cures.
@@selohcin here's what I definite as necessities. Healthy food, clean water, clean air, access to medical resources, a roof over my head and access to reliable transportation.
What exactly are 'basic needs' and how did you determine what they are?
It would've been great and my great but the current ruling class (bourgeoisie) could try to retain their power and still make people miserable and notbeijg forced to work. Especially in the third world, there's already enough food for everyone but because of inequality they don't have that much.
One job I believe that was missed in the list of those that are "future proof" is engineering. Not that there is any one item of even field that may go away but there is always a need to design the next product or process that is actually eliminating the jobs that you are talking about.
Engineering has already consolidated. CAD has reduced the number of engineers while increasing production. Mechanical engineers have been watered down so much.
@@cmdr1911 Yet there is still a shortage of engineers.
@@eugeneforge Its doesnt help that people with engineering degrees dont always become engineers. I have a BSME but consult in construction becuase it pays better. Carry the credentials but havent design anything in 6 years
Not all engineering disciplines are created equally. Software/computer engineering is far better than Biomedical engineering in terms of pay and opportunity for example.
@@TofuCate Bingo. The 5 basics, Civil, Mechanical, Chemical, Electrical and Computer can be focused and specialized in industry to produce what ever worker you need. ME cover basics materials, aerospace, biomedical, electromechanical, manufacturing and some light software. Any of those five can be adapted.
The art one isn’t completely true. I got laid off with all my other artists because they had a program that could design faster. Not better they didn’t care if it looked good just they were faster than everyone else. I went back to school to learn app and web development. I already got the video and graphics background now I can do it all.
They have programs that can write music as well.
@@KLAWNINETY Reminds me of the "I, robot" movie.
Cop to robot: You're a soulless machine, Can you write a symphony? Paint a masterpiece?
Robot to cop: Can you?
That was a sick burn.
And what's sad is client facing software really does need a good intuitive design. That usually requires the human touch to make new innovative things. Design is something that a lot of devs can't do (speaking from seeing it in group projects) and I hate it when people brush it off as unnecessary. Do you want a basic java UI? Cause that's how you get a basic Java UI lol
Yes it’s not only about being outcompeted by machines directly. It’s also about being outcompeted by super talented humans whose productivity is amplified by machines.
Great points! I always thought of it as “how can I learn/improve my skills all the time?” If you do that you will always find work.Great video!
Great video! It's so important to keep learning and developing new skill sets. I feel like the traditional employment model of staying with a company your whole life is rarely applicable anymore, and we need to embrace thriving through several career changes over the course of our lives now.
Its always refreshing to watch tame content like this, educational, fun too watch, and most information is applicable to day to day life!
This is pure gold, thank you. You guys are fantastic btw. Cheers from Peru.
Thanks for mentioning occupational therapists!! I'm an OT & when I heard you mention my field, I lit up! I LOVE my profession but many people do not know what we do. You put a smile on my face, thanks again!
"Have you tried turning it off and on again" reallyyy made me chuckle LOL !!! great video guys!
Don't forget Knocker-Uppers, who tapped on people's windows to wake them up before the invention of alarm clocks. Great video!
Software engineers have been automating many parts of their own jobs for years. There is still a high demand for software engineers. Much of the automation has led to lowering the barrier to entry as well.
Awesome review of this topic, thank you for sharing.
Engineers: “ No one is safe “.
Every job can be automated, is just a matter of when…
What about the engineers designing the system to automate those other engineers?
@@Obbliteration AI that code AI, and that AI code more powerful AI that code even more powerful AI
engineering will surely be the last to be automated if we ever even
reach that point
@@Obbliteration This is currently happening but it is more difficult to automated a complex job.
@@josh3337 Agreed… Same with Physicist and Mathematicians.
Love this video concept. I think about this all the time! I think they key is to continue to learn new skills and grow. Also focus on working smarter (jobs that require complex decision making), not harder.
I just started a new job as a chemist at my city’s water treatment facility. While I am doing things like extraction methods that are FAR from being automated, I’m also working with automation on the analytical side of things. It’s really making me take stock in my technical skills and I’ve decided to take up some online coding classes to really up my acumen in computer science.
Congrats on 600K! Keep it up!
An underrated topic. Thaks for sharing your thoughts on this.
Every video you guys make and share has so much information 🥰
I remember 1) the travel agency, where I would buy my flight, 2) the photo shop, where I would buy the film for my camera 3) the disk shop, where I would get the DVD album of my favourite artist 4) the phone shop, where you could call abroad at a cheap price - all this is in 20 years!
Really makes you think if so much more could be achieved with engineering firefighting instead of package delivery or so-called automated processes that actually gets rid of the employee but makes the customer do the lifting (self-checkout).
I'm a Physical Therapist. Until they start making PT Terminators, I think I'm all right :)
Hahaha 🤣 great comment, so true!
Cheers and congratulations

Love you guys! Keeping my curiosity with economics alive 😄
Great content as always, but I have bad news for you, the picture at 1:02 (from Raphael's painting of the School of Athens) is of Plato, not Aristotle. Plato was older than Aristotle (Plato was Aristotle's teacher), and is pointing up signifying his focus on the forms and the heavens. Raphael depicts Aristotle as younger and pointing out signifying his greater focus on the empirical sciences (he's to Plato's left in your picture, in blue with his hand outstretched).
Sorry, as a educational philosophy creator I just had to point it out. :)
So informative, thank you!

As a school counseling grad student this makes me happy to hear!! Yay counseling services 🎓
Regarding art, poetry...etc they are the most vulnerable to be replaced IMHO. Look at dall-e 2. Also note that most commercial form of stories and songs ...etc have a well-known template.
Another excellent video
This video is actually very accurate. Nice job
Your counsellor telling you to go home and have a good nights sleep is the human equivalent of “have you turned it off and back on again?”
How can I build my knowledge of things to the extent that you guys have? I want to be smart like you guys too, that’s why I watch your videos.
Thanks!
Love that you used the phrase "new fangled" lol You now your century old jargon!
Congratulations for 600K!!!!

Currently yes, but many lower level positions will continue to get reassigned or elminated. I'm in Accounting currently.
Love love love that you guys included a Daft Punk reference! I miss them so much! They are my childhood! God bless em!
Its actually always been..just keep learning
The most important skill for the modern day worker is adaptation and constant learning.
The world around us advances so rapidly, as are our jobs, tech and so on, that being able to embrace the new and always try to learn "how the young kids are doin it" is a must to be relevant in the work force, no matter what you do.
Enjoyed this video

"You can get a good job teaching robots and algorithms to take other people's jobs away."

This video is amazing!
This is why I want to study to be a plumber or HVAC technician as a side job.
@Tyler my intention is to be a weekend plumber or HVAC technician. During the week do my regular job.
Just make sure you focus on maintenance work.
With modular construction and automated prefab factories those jobs won't be needed on construction.
There is no company that will hire you just to work two days a week. Unless you go solo, in that case you will need to register yourself as a LLC and get insurance.
@@stayathomemarine that's the idea. My goal is to retire from my job in the next 5-10 years and then do my own work as a technician some days per week and earn enough just to keep the property tax collector, electricity, water and internet companies happy.
@@dachicagoan8185 Your goal is not going to be some thing that almost anyone is going to work with you on. HVAC companies typically never work the weekend, unless you’re working for a large scale business, most construction companies absolutely abhor working on the weekend. You have to do continuing education, which will cost some money regardless of how you want to look at it, and you’re not going to be very useful overall to the company only working so much. It’s funny when you look at people who have absolutely no experience with the types of actual humans working in these industries. Good luck in getting a lashed out the door trying to be a weekend warrior. If you wanna go work for yourself, you’re going to have to go get not only years of experience, you will have to get an administrators card in order to even legally do any work at all. All of these require continuing education, and you’re just going to get beat out by people who actually make it their life‘s work. It’s not a casual industry.
learning fundamental skills like problem solving, critical thinking, self learning to good foundation for a sudden change.
I was genuinely waiting for the Skillshare ad when Philip said something about "you're going to learn new skills". RUclips has broken my brain.
I’d love it if robots could do restaurant health inspections.
Thank god I liked genetics as a kid and am now finishing up my PhD in Human Genetics at the perfect time to strike gold in the market. Frankly, I just got lucky :-/
Be very careful about this, the market does not always adapt well to technological advancements in health. Look at the anti-vax movement for example, do you think people will start paying you to mess with their genetics anytime soon? I doubt it.
@@yt_nh9347 Well people are already using CAR-Tcell therapy to kill cancers, viral therapy to cure bleeding disorders, mRNA therapy to attenuate mendelian diseases so I feel pretty confident that enough people, aka people who are aware of the risks their own diseases poses to them, would be more willing to receive treatment. Not to mention the companies creating these therapies are back by a lot of venture capital, which is indicative that people who know the market way better than the both of us think it will be fine. Also most genetic therapies aren't even about directly editing peoples genes as it stands.
My main emphasis is people aren't getting vaccinated because they don't perceive covid as a threat, but people with disorders that actively are ruining there lives will be much more agreeable to receiving cures. Chemo sucks and people still go on it.
@@RunWithIt_ people need to drop the COVID talk in terms of innovation. That virus is holding back innovation. You’re gonna be looking for leppers that don’t exist in a few years, screeching about politicized medicine while some major advancement goes unnoticed.
@@Saixjacket dude you know that the same technology that made the Moderna Covid vaccine is having their HIV vaccine go to trial right? What is your angle?
Good video like 👍 your content, informative and nice 👌 to watch ⌚.
I’m a stenographic court reporter. For decades people have stated my job would die out. Yes, recording devices have gotten much better better throughout the years. Siri and Alexa has gotten better too. But the speed at which people speak along with slang, accents, these devices are not at a point of replacing my field. As the years continue, technology gets better and better and we definitely implement it in our jobs. We find ways to make it help us and to better our skills. Recording devices may replace a few of us but those who are willing to learn and grow with our job will never be replaced! #stenographer #realtime
Could you please talk about how this topic (automation across all industries) affects wealth distribution across society?
In order for automation to be sustainable, the whole paradigm of our citizenry, business and society will have to radically change. Our current state of inequality will not be able to handle the logistics and infrastructure of this type of world.
Inequality has literally nothing to do with it lmfao. The big wigs with cash in their pockets will continune to invest in technology that will if anything create FURTHER inequality by removing jobs that were previously done by lower education/skilled indivudals of whom are in a lower class since they can't make enough money
Love the Daft Punk reference 🤣😂
Also 6:15 Baby don't hurt me .... sorry I had to !!
I always say this but maintenance of advanced machinery is always safe to some regard, unpredictable problems and necessary efficiency.
Im glad I plan on being a psychologist and backup as an artist and non profit person because psychology involves behaving certain ways after someone is upset and the sort and its VERY unpredictable and compassion based! And music is as you said. And also non profit robots probably won't exist for a while and would need to be managed
I think my job is fairly future-proof. It's now finally seen as a useful career path because people start to understand what we do. It touched on 3/5(you could argue 4) future proof jobs. Yes, it's in tech.
That's Plato on the picture with finger up pointing to the sky. Aristotle is in blue to the right.
My goal when I started working for the State 4 years ago was to transfer to Human Resources. I figure that field should still be around in the next 30 years. And should be easier to transfer if a situation came up where I had to move to a different city or different state.
I’m in school for data science rn. I want to design a machine that can think like a human and do any low wage job at least like retail and fast food
I’m in a pretty specialized finance job so I’m not too worried. One thing is certain, things change.
Man I'm aspiring to be an accountant, I so hope I get at least 40 years man
😯
Lol not even close probably.
Accountants are dinosaurs, might as well be a coffee maker at this point.
Replace CEOs and billionaire corporate shareholders with automation.
"Replaced' meaning replacing them as people - their bank accounts, powers of attorney, all become conservatorships to automation.
Not really, there are algorithms based on chaos control. They are still under research but they are expected to control chaos in dynamic systems.
Not only should you worry if it’s future proof, but also outsourcing proof…
Glad I chose carpentry. When your fixing homes built in 1880 with all the factors and variable changing on each house I’ll feed myself my whole life.
You could also be someone who installs or programs automation equipment in utilities, oil and gas, warehouses, etc. That's still probably 15+ years away from being automated itself, I hope.

Jobs on the railway tend to be pretty safe. Obviously if the railway is replaced then you'll have issues but the cost of replacing it for something else is too much for most countries to bare.
The only problem with HVAC, Plumbing, Electricians etc is that it'll be relegated to maintenance of pre-existing structures.
Between Automation and Modular construction they won't be needed in construction. That means there won't as much demand for those professions
