This is a short YouTube live-stream monologue by TJ Walker arguing that future high-paying jobs will favor creators and that communication/public-speaking skills are essential and non-automatable. Walker advises especially young people to develop speaking skills for presenting, interviews, and online video to remain marketable. The clip ends with a call to comment and a Facebook page link.

Are you trying to plan for the future? Are you trying to develop a skill that's going to be essential for all of the top paying jobs in the 2000s? Well, here it is. Remember, in the 2000s we're going to see more and more robots taking up more technology, more things being handled online rather than store clerks in actual retail stores and shopping malls. More and more jobs are disappearing, yet more and more jobs are becoming opportunities for people. As I see it, the number one job in the future is going to be for creators. It doesn't matter if you're creating how to videos, music, software, apps, literature, there's always going to be a job for people in the world who create something that others want to consume. Could be software. It doesn't matter what it is. But here's the thing. If you're a creator, you have to talk to people about it. You have to give speeches on the subject, you have to do interviews on the subject. And that's a critical skill most people ignore. They wait till later. So yeah, you could spend every second of the day learning to develop software, but there's a school of thought that says software is going to be automated that soon. And that's not going to be the greatest skill to have. Think of someone like Steve Jobs, computer company. But he wasn't the guy coding, he was the guy giving speeches, selling the new products, the iPad, the ipod. That is only going to increase in importance in the future. So this video is directed primarily to young people that it really could be for people of any age. If you want to make yourself much more useful, marketable in the 2000 and 20s and beyond, you need to know how to speak. Whether it's on your own Facebook video, YouTube, live speeches in front of audiences of clients, customers, colleagues, or news media interviews. There's never going to be a way of automating that, I promise you. I'm TJ Walker. Thanks for joining me.
