Viable work in the age of AI

I worked with 2 college bound apprentices, one a welder, the other a plumber. They both loved working with their hands and wanted a means of earning real money while earning their degrees. They wanted to be physical and not stare at screens. I think this idea will gain traction, especially as college enrollment declines.

Correct link has been added above.

LEO son has a state certification from the Department of Criminal Justice. He also has several other related national certifications in disciplines that required specialized training. Additionally, he has state and national certifications in Emergency Medical Services. Hopefully AI helps his career rather than curtailing it.

Interesting take.

“Any state license” may be an overstatement, since there are probably some in areas where the market for services is weak.

Even health care professions may not be that safe, as rising health care costs force many people out of the market.
