[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would have become a nurse - maybe a nurse anesthetist.

I’m a 53-year old lawyer and see that AI is going to gut our profession.  I tell my kids to do something AI-resistant.  If you are going to be a lawyer, be a prosecutor because AI can’t argue a case in court.[/quote]

I’m a regulatory lawyer and can see the writing on the wall. Things like compliance, policy interpretation etc. are ripe for replacement. I’m too old now to really change course. But I’ve been telling my kids a) not to go to law school, b) not to tie their careers to government, and c) keep a diverse skill set/be open to unconventional paths. This includes being good at things like musi, math, movie production, athletics, etc.

For instance, think of the players on the Savannah Bananas. Many of them may have had MLB dreams slashed, but then they found this alternative path still related to their dream and have leveraged social media to get big followings. They now sell out stadiums.

I realize that may be a silly example. But overall I think those who are well rounded and adaptable will fare the best.

Millennials have helped dispel the myth of get as much education as you can no matter the cost and get a nice white collar job with good benefits and you will be set. We have to prepare our kids for an entirely different world.[/quote]
