[quote=Anonymous]Do some deeper reading about this if you haven't to figure out how to insulate your and your kids careers.

The 4 human capabilities creating barriers against AI replacement are: 
(1) empathy and authentic human connection, 
(2) original creative thinking, 
(3) ethical reasoning, and 
(4) physical dexterity in unpredictable environments.

Figure out how your career or your kid's education can give them skills in 1 or more of these areas.

There are studies everywhere about the most AI-resistant careers. Things like:

- healthcare (clinical roles, therapy, nursing)
- skilled trades (electricians, plumbers, HVAC - hands-on problem-solving)
- education (teaching, counseling - requires relationship-building)
- creative fields (design, strategy, content requiring originality)
- management/Leadership (complex human coordination and judgment)
- physical services (agriculture, construction, hospitality, emergency response)

there are many AI-proof careers. But most of them combine specialized technical knowledge with irreplaceable human elements (see above).

think about where your/your kids strengths lie and then try and reposition.

it's not in the traditional generic white-collar careers (general IB, biglaw, consulting, SWE) like we thought thirty years ago.
