“Times they are a-changin'” as Bob Dylan famously said, none less so than the job market of the future. Innovations like the internet are set to change the labour market beyond all recognition in the future.
But, just like the Industrial Revolution, newer technologies always make older jobs redundant, especially as automation replaces human beings in many roles. This creative destruction should, however, be embraced rather than feared.
It will open up new potential jobs, many we can not even conceive of. Who, for example, could possibly have imagined jobs like software engineers, SEO specialists, etc back in the 1920s or even 1950s?
After all, no one can predict the future with any real certainty. The best advice most career or life professional will give you is to think of something you would happily do for free.
If you get paid for it too, it is a win, win.
