Careers of the Future How do you prepare for a career that won’t be possible in another 20 or 30 years? For the future of work, it is predicted that automation might lead to the loss of 85 million jobs around the world in the next five years. Automation is when jobs are done by robots, machines, or computers instead of by
people. Technology defines the world around US. Artificial intelligence or Al is quickly taking over decision-making for healthcare, finances and pretty much everything. While that sounds like bad news for humans, it is also predicted that 97 million jobs related to automation and technology could be created during the same period of time. So some people will lose their jobs, but more jobs will be available overall. Workers will need training and help to prepare for those new jobs. For example, doctors who have access to Al might be able to help more patients because they can get the research and information they need faster. In factories, the most dangerous and repetitive work can be done by robots, lowering the risk of injury to workers. There is one thing that everyone seems to agree on: Workers are always going to keep learning and increasing their skills. In some industries, robots have already taken over jobs that humans did for decades. Workers in those industries have needed to learn new skills, sometimes for jobs in entirely new and different fields. Retraining is a big change for workers. But people in just about every industry are already making changes and adapting to technology. You can’t certainly predict what careers will be available in the future, but you can still prepare for them. By developing STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) skills, trying out new things, and becoming a strong leader and thinker, teenagers will certainly take advantage of technology to thrive in the future world of work.
