A fellow coworker recently asked me, "What jobs should my high schooler be thinking of?" This was a very thought-provoking question. My general answer to her was that her high schooler should look for anything that is difficult to be automated, but the true answer is much more nuanced. I believe we will have a very different landscape in the future, but the reality is that each of us need to really think deeply about the next 5-10 years. What are your thoughts on this?

What was true when I was a high schooler was very different from what the “old timers” thought. There is always some wisdom to pass down, but it’s such a different time than when we were young. I’d agree with the automation point. Healthcare or hands-on trades are probably what I’d recommend. But always stay adaptable.

Healthcare is also being considered for automation these days with surgery being performed by robotics!

All jobs can be automated even healthcare

Absolutely agree with this, especially surgeons with robotics being able to perform surgeries even better than human surgeons

We should be encouraging highschoolers to think about what they really wanna do long-term. What makes them happy what gives them joy sustainability would be a great culture to encourage.

Job security concerns are a real thing! I agree it’s not fun having to constantly worry about layoffs.
