The next thing is coming. Don't fear too much.[/quote]
+1 My sister was a secretary, who did shorthand and typed out letters.   That became obsolete with word processors.  So, my sister pivoted to something else.

My FIL who was an accountant lamented computers and how it was going to destroy accounting jobs. He hated computers.  But, look what happened.

Every tech revolution causes a pivot, and there are birth pains, but then new types of jobs arise.

Right now, there's a bit of "AI Washing" in terms of layoffs.  Executives are using the "we replaced our workers with AI"excuse when the real reason was they just overhired and need to contract.  But, it sounds better if you say, "Look at us.. we're the masters of AI use".

Having stated that, you will need AI skills to get a job.  The definition of "entry level" has changed in the age of AI.  Young people are better at pivoting to AI than older workers.  Basically, you'd better know how to use AI effectively if you want a job.[/quote]
