We can't predict the future, but it does make sense to be prepared. That means not putting all your eggs in one basket. Get a broad education.

Humanities are important to learn about the world, but just as importantly, how to learn, think, analyze, question, and communicate. It's a foundation to build your future self on.

Science skills and a knowledge of the environment will be critical in fighting the climate crisis, which is continuing to get worse.

Exactly!

Increasing heat is going to lead to a climate collapse within as little as two years from now! Science is real.

How have so many Americans turned full on MAGA and stupid and and blind to the fact we are all going to be gasping for air and dying in mass within a very short time!!?!

Time to up the dosage.

Philosophy and public policy is a great combination. Knowing how the world works, and how to analyze information, ask big questions, think critically, and write.

Pilot, flight attendant

The military is always looking for smart college grads.

My plumber has 15 plumbers working under him. He spends a lot of time each day on his investments and rarely gets out into the field.

Advanced robots will do those work within 10 years. Look at all the robotic advancements out of Japan and China that US media doesn't report.

Already, there are advanced female robots for males available in Japan and they will replace many female roles.

Will they cook and clean as well? I'm a mom and need one of those! LOL.

DP. Quite the contrary—when the future is uncertain, being a generalist is far better than being a specialist.

Nah. My husband is rich. Met him at state school.

What about grandchildren? Are you not worried about them?

I think kids today should seriously be thinking about not procreating.

Insane. Literally insane

Have you read Ender’s Game? That’s our grandkids’ future.

Sorry, meant Ready Player One. Getting my apocalyptic novels confused.

I have, actually. And you’re being an hyper-anxious ninny.

Put your concerns in historical and global context. Americans today live in what is objectively the best, safest, and most pleasant time to be alive in the history of humanity.

Are there future risks? Sure. But there are ALWAYS future risks. As Men in Black so eloquently stated, “There’s always an Arquillian Battle Cruiser, a Corillian Death Ray, or an intergalactic plague that is about to wipe out all life on this miserable little planet….”

We’ve got it historically good. Our kids will have it historically good. Will there be challenges? Of course, but humans are tough and resilient. Life is a joy and a privilege, even with (and sometimes bc of) those challenges.

Stop being so afraid of tomorrow. No way to lead life.
