The Future of Work in 2024: AI, Human Skills, and How to Adapt
What’s the future of work in 2024? With vacancies plunging faster than my motivation to hit the gym, it seems that this year, has decided to play hard to get with job seekers. Yet, there’s still hope.
AI has swanned into our workplaces, and while it’s fabulous, it’s also snatching jobs really fast (or so it seems). Ethical hackers, once the cool kids are now seeing their salaries cut in half. Ouch.
AI JOBS ARE THE FUTURE OF WORK
However, it’s not all doom and gloom. Fancy being a prompt engineer, an AI ethics officer, or an AI auditor? Well, congratulations because these are the new “it” jobs of 2024. And if Elon Musk’s to be believed, we might all end up working for the sheer fun of it because AI’s about to render jobs as old-fashioned as flip phones.
THE UNSHAKEABLE PROFESSIONS
Meanwhile, certain jobs are lounging comfortably, immune to AI’s charm. Oncologists, orthodontists, and, surprisingly, judges and politicians remain unthreatened. So, if you’re planning to switch careers, maybe consider law school. Or, you know, politics — if you fancy a salary that doesn’t fluctuate more than cryptocurrency.
