AI and offshoring are making coding, accounting, and graphic design vulnerable. Safer bets: government jobs, medicine, skilled trades like HVAC repair, high-end finance, and starting your own business.
The job market right now is absolutely insane, and careers are being replaced by AI, offshoring, and a shrinking workforce. So what careers are actually worth pursuing? I had this conversation with my son before he went to college, and I told him, if you pick the wrong career, you'll be competing with robots and workers halfway across the world. So there are some things that you definitely shouldn't go into: coding, accounting, graphic design. AI is replacing all but the top 1% of these jobs. And customer service, it's going offshore until AI eventually eats that as well. But if some jobs are dying, that means others are booming. Government-related work, they have to hire Americans. And life Look for death careers like medicine. No one wants a budget brain surgeon or a discount airplane pilot. And there's trades and physical work. You can't offshore HVAC repair, and it's gonna be a long time before humanoid robots can renovate your house without stepping on the dog. Then there's finance and wealth management. At the top end, rich people want humans, not AI taking care of their money. And lastly, entrepreneurship. There will always be jobs for people who can make their own job. What advice would you tell your own kid?
