20 common jobs in 2040
“With headlines predicting jobs being automated out of existence we begin imagining unrealistic consequences for what lies ahead.
German industrial giant, Siemens, recently hosted an Innovation Day that I participated in at their Chicago design center to give thought leaders a first look at many of the cutting edge technologies they’re working on. The topics they covered ranged from autonomous vehicles to drone taxis, electric and hybrid electric aircraft, digital twins, agripods, virtual reality, robotics, microgrids, energy storage, AI-powered manufacturing and the overall potential of digitaized value chain.
All these ideas offered tremendous insight into the the world ahead. But more than insight into technology, they give us a glimpse of what some of our jobs will be in the future…”

I don’t agree on the future of professional jobs outlined by Tom. The areas specified would be much detailed and much broader than explained. The jobs that will drive the future workforce are going to be definitive and direct.
my initial research on the subject matter suggest otherwise

dindu nuffin To each their own, but personally I think we’re coming into the most incredible times in human history. This is the first time ever that we collectively been able to design and create the world that we want to live in. Sure we might lose some things, but in the process I feel we’re going to gain a lot lot more. The spoon was technology. I’m happy we have that. The car was technology, I’m happy we have that. Pants were technology, I’m happy we have those. It’s all a matter of perspective and what we do with it, and considering this is the first time in human history that more than 50% of the population who have never had access to technology before are beginning to gain that access, I think the future is golden. There’s a fantastic film called the Third Industrial Revolution that was just released by Vice a few months ago, very well worth watching. https://youtu.be/QX3M8Ka9vUA

dindu nuffin We create. That is our role. We become the creators. And those that don’t evolve to create, well, evolution has its own plans for them. As more and more automation supplants us, it makes things cheaper, more abundant, more accessible, and more sustainable. That’s the whole idea. They’re already 3d printing HOMES for less than 10k, they’re already building vertical aquaponic farms that supply the entire building with the food it needs, they’re already building high-rises that generate just as much energy as they use. I don’t see any of this as a bad thing. Sure, there will be those that will have a hard time adjusting, especially blue-collar workers and manual laborers, but those of them that open their eyes and start to position themselves for work in renewable, sustainable and design sectors will be just fine. Those that don’t, I don’t mean to sound harsh, but, well, sorry. You can stick around and try to ‘make america great again’ or pine for the ‘good ol days’ or whatever. Not I. I pine for the future, for we are living in the most incredible times ever. Furthermore, statistically, we are living in the most peaceful times in human history, at a time when there is less poverty than ever before, and less people are hungry than they were even 3 decades ago. More people have access to funds, whether fiat or crypto, and it’s the developing, not developed, nations that are spearheading the way in renewable energy and sustainability, simply out of necessity. We’re going to be just fine. Our only roadblock is the old-timers that, at this point, are stuck in their ways. As far as politically and all that nonsense, it’s all temporary and means absolutely nothing in the long run. They’re not even paying attention to what’s important, they’re too busy jerking off each other’s egos and settling old scores. The rest of us are the ones that matter. As Greg Palast once told me in an interview, “everything mainstream begins in the fringes.” And everything we’re building now has been in the fringes for a long long time. It’s our turn. We just have to wait for a few skeletons to finally keel over and die. And I say that unapologetically.
