Before I retired, I was assigned to a group that is working on applications to automate a field I have been working in for nearly 4 decades. I designed automotive components. Technology now exists that, when implemented, can update complex panels in minutes by an inexperienced engineer. This level of change would have taken an engineer with decades of experience days or even weeks to update. Both high tech and low tech jobs are in the crosshairs.
One job I believe that was missed in the list of those that are "future proof" is engineering. Not that there is any one item of even field that may go away but there is always a need to design the next product or process that is actually eliminating the jobs that you are talking about.
Engineering has already consolidated. CAD has reduced the number of engineers while increasing production. Mechanical engineers have been watered down so much.
@@eugeneforge Its doesnt help that people with engineering degrees dont always become engineers. I have a BSME but consult in construction becuase it pays better. Carry the credentials but havent design anything in 6 years
Not all engineering disciplines are created equally. Software/computer engineering is far better than Biomedical engineering in terms of pay and opportunity for example.
@@TofuCate Bingo. The 5 basics, Civil, Mechanical, Chemical, Electrical and Computer can be focused and specialized in industry to produce what ever worker you need. ME cover basics materials, aerospace, biomedical, electromechanical, manufacturing and some light software. Any of those five can be adapted.
At what point do we move from an economy based on working all-together to one where ALL our basic needs are met. One where we enjoy life and when we do "work" we are creating art, exploring space, discovering cures for the common cold. I think once we realize that most jobs are unnecessary, we can come together and be a better species.
The word "necessary" here means very different things to different people. Until we can define our terms in the same way, we'll make no progress in this discussion.
Lol your silly idyllic world isn’t possible, “discovering cures for ____” nobody is gonna do that without funding. Funding requires grants, grants require governance, you can’t remove these systems and allow some doctor militias to go around peddling snake oil cures.
@@selohcin here's what I definite as necessities. Healthy food, clean water, clean air, access to medical resources, a roof over my head and access to reliable transportation.
It would've been great and my great but the current ruling class (bourgeoisie) could try to retain their power and still make people miserable and notbeijg forced to work. Especially in the third world, there's already enough food for everyone but because of inequality they don't have that much.
The art one isn’t completely true. I got laid off with all my other artists because they had a program that could design faster. Not better they didn’t care if it looked good just they were faster than everyone else. I went back to school to learn app and web development. I already got the video and graphics background now I can do it all.
@@KLAWNINETY Reminds me of the "I, robot" movie. Cop to robot: You're a soulless machine, Can you write a symphony? Paint a masterpiece? Robot to cop: Can you? That was a sick burn.
And what's sad is client facing software really does need a good intuitive design. That usually requires the human touch to make new innovative things. Design is something that a lot of devs can't do (speaking from seeing it in group projects) and I hate it when people brush it off as unnecessary. Do you want a basic java UI? Cause that's how you get a basic Java UI lol

Great content as always, but I have bad news for you, the picture at 1:02 (from Raphael's painting of the School of Athens) is of Plato, not Aristotle. Plato was older than Aristotle (Plato was Aristotle's teacher), and is pointing up signifying his focus on the forms and the heavens. Raphael depicts Aristotle as younger and pointing out signifying his greater focus on the empirical sciences (he's to Plato's left in your picture, in blue with his hand outstretched). Sorry, as a educational philosophy creator I just had to point it out. :)
Thanks for mentioning occupational therapists!! I'm an OT & when I heard you mention my field, I lit up! I LOVE my profession but many people do not know what we do. You put a smile on my face, thanks again!
I just started a new job as a chemist at my city’s water treatment facility. While I am doing things like extraction methods that are FAR from being automated, I’m also working with automation on the analytical side of things. It’s really making me take stock in my technical skills and I’ve decided to take up some online coding classes to really up my acumen in computer science.
Software engineers have been automating many parts of their own jobs for years. There is still a high demand for software engineers. Much of the automation has led to lowering the barrier to entry as well.
"We have to teach our kids something unique, so that a machine can never catch up with us: values, believing, independent thinking, teamwork, care for others - the soft skills - sports, music, painting, arts, to make sure humans are different from machines." - Jack Ma
Really makes you think if so much more could be achieved with engineering firefighting instead of package delivery or so-called automated processes that actually gets rid of the employee but makes the customer do the lifting (self-checkout).
In order for automation to be sustainable, the whole paradigm of our citizenry, business and society will have to radically change. Our current state of inequality will not be able to handle the logistics and infrastructure of this type of world.
Inequality has literally nothing to do with it lmfao. The big wigs with cash in their pockets will continune to invest in technology that will if anything create FURTHER inequality by removing jobs that were previously done by lower education/skilled indivudals of whom are in a lower class since they can't make enough money
There is no company that will hire you just to work two days a week. Unless you go solo, in that case you will need to register yourself as a LLC and get insurance.
@@stayathomemarine that's the idea. My goal is to retire from my job in the next 5-10 years and then do my own work as a technician some days per week and earn enough just to keep the property tax collector, electricity, water and internet companies happy.
@@dachicagoan8185 Your goal is not going to be some thing that almost anyone is going to work with you on. HVAC companies typically never work the weekend, unless you’re working for a large scale business, most construction companies absolutely abhor working on the weekend. You have to do continuing education, which will cost some money regardless of how you want to look at it, and you’re not going to be very useful overall to the company only working so much. It’s funny when you look at people who have absolutely no experience with the types of actual humans working in these industries. Good luck in getting a lashed out the door trying to be a weekend warrior. If you wanna go work for yourself, you’re going to have to go get not only years of experience, you will have to get an administrators card in order to even legally do any work at all. All of these require continuing education, and you’re just going to get beat out by people who actually make it their life‘s work. It’s not a casual industry.
I’m a stenographic court reporter. For decades people have stated my job would die out. Yes, recording devices have gotten much better better throughout the years. Siri and Alexa has gotten better too. But the speed at which people speak along with slang, accents, these devices are not at a point of replacing my field. As the years continue, technology gets better and better and we definitely implement it in our jobs. We find ways to make it help us and to better our skills. Recording devices may replace a few of us but those who are willing to learn and grow with our job will never be replaced! #stenographer #realtime
We need 'unskilled' jobs because there will always be unskilled people. It's actually insulting to say to someone 'lost your supermarket job?, oh well become an expert in robotics instead'. Not everyone gets to go to university. not everyone wants too! And the older you get the more limited your choices become ,once there is mortgage and children etc. Also it elitist to say that shop workers/reception staff etc can be replace by robots because the work is predictable, clearly they have never done that kind of work.

Thank god I liked genetics as a kid and am now finishing up my PhD in Human Genetics at the perfect time to strike gold in the market. Frankly, I just got lucky :-/
Be very careful about this, the market does not always adapt well to technological advancements in health. Look at the anti-vax movement for example, do you think people will start paying you to mess with their genetics anytime soon? I doubt it.
@@yt_nh9347 Well people are already using CAR-Tcell therapy to kill cancers, viral therapy to cure bleeding disorders, mRNA therapy to attenuate mendelian diseases so I feel pretty confident that enough people, aka people who are aware of the risks their own diseases poses to them, would be more willing to receive treatment. Not to mention the companies creating these therapies are back by a lot of venture capital, which is indicative that people who know the market way better than the both of us think it will be fine. Also most genetic therapies aren't even about directly editing peoples genes as it stands. My main emphasis is people aren't getting vaccinated because they don't perceive covid as a threat, but people with disorders that actively are ruining there lives will be much more agreeable to receiving cures. Chemo sucks and people still go on it.
@@RunWithIt_ people need to drop the COVID talk in terms of innovation. That virus is holding back innovation. You’re gonna be looking for leppers that don’t exist in a few years, screeching about politicized medicine while some major advancement goes unnoticed.

The most important skill for the modern day worker is adaptation and constant learning. The world around us advances so rapidly, as are our jobs, tech and so on, that being able to embrace the new and always try to learn "how the young kids are doin it" is a must to be relevant in the work force, no matter what you do.
Morale of the story, we need to lower the minimum full-time hours. Why do we have have some people working 60 hours a week, and then 3 people that are unemployed?
That could be because the3 unemployed persons cannot do the work that the people working 60 hours are able to do .think twice before posting a question that is rhetorical as hell

Or you could realize over half the population puts in zero effort into improving any "skills" and still survives, mainly because the governments of the world take care of them.
Absolutely, we need to embrace continuing to learn and grow. It's never good to let your mind and skills go stagnant. Plus it's very humbling in a good way to learn a new skill, makes your brain feel good!
I say try to keep your mind sharp and adaptable just in case your job isn't future proof
Yeah, aging isn't real. People at 45 are as nimble and easy learners as 16 year Olds. Don't believe that pesky thing called biology.
@@john7787 the old and weak get left behind. Too bad.
@@EarthsGeomancer yeah that's exactly what Nazis thought. The disabled, the sick, the weak, the jews, ... etc. And that's why we're fighting against the likes of yourself
@@john7787 Nah, leaving them behind to reap what they sowed because they made bad choices like not getting educated and being stubborn to learn new things is not the same as active extermination. Way to exaggerate.
@@EarthsGeomancer you must be conservative being so bright.
Yes, someone who stayed up to date on technology will definitely be able to keep up no matter their age. Stay on, you'll have a great future, conservative!
We could totally have 15 hour work weeks. Most people only put three good hours in five days a week
16 hours - 4 * 4 as well as having shifts (twice) - Technocratic calendar

Huge props for mentioning an impending labor shortage. This automation is necessary to maintain a standard of living with the demographic shift.
So true. Same reason why Japan has invested so heavily in robotics.
African population going to explode in 20 yrs Nigeria will be at top
@@mayanksingh0044 nigeria already at the top in africa
Before I retired, I was assigned to a group that is working on applications to automate a field I have been working in for nearly 4 decades. I designed automotive components. Technology now exists that, when implemented, can update complex panels in minutes by an inexperienced engineer. This level of change would have taken an engineer with decades of experience days or even weeks to update. Both high tech and low tech jobs are in the crosshairs.
Wow
It's a scary world
One job I believe that was missed in the list of those that are "future proof" is engineering. Not that there is any one item of even field that may go away but there is always a need to design the next product or process that is actually eliminating the jobs that you are talking about.
Engineering has already consolidated. CAD has reduced the number of engineers while increasing production. Mechanical engineers have been watered down so much.
@@cmdr1911 Yet there is still a shortage of engineers.
@@eugeneforge Its doesnt help that people with engineering degrees dont always become engineers. I have a BSME but consult in construction becuase it pays better. Carry the credentials but havent design anything in 6 years
Not all engineering disciplines are created equally. Software/computer engineering is far better than Biomedical engineering in terms of pay and opportunity for example.
@@TofuCate Bingo. The 5 basics, Civil, Mechanical, Chemical, Electrical and Computer can be focused and specialized in industry to produce what ever worker you need. ME cover basics materials, aerospace, biomedical, electromechanical, manufacturing and some light software. Any of those five can be adapted.
4:44 did not age well
At what point do we move from an economy based on working all-together to one where ALL our basic needs are met. One where we enjoy life and when we do "work" we are creating art, exploring space, discovering cures for the common cold. I think once we realize that most jobs are unnecessary, we can come together and be a better species.
The word "necessary" here means very different things to different people. Until we can define our terms in the same way, we'll make no progress in this discussion.
Lol your silly idyllic world isn’t possible, “discovering cures for ____” nobody is gonna do that without funding. Funding requires grants, grants require governance, you can’t remove these systems and allow some doctor militias to go around peddling snake oil cures.
@@selohcin here's what I definite as necessities. Healthy food, clean water, clean air, access to medical resources, a roof over my head and access to reliable transportation.
What exactly are 'basic needs' and how did you determine what they are?
It would've been great and my great but the current ruling class (bourgeoisie) could try to retain their power and still make people miserable and notbeijg forced to work. Especially in the third world, there's already enough food for everyone but because of inequality they don't have that much.
The art one isn’t completely true. I got laid off with all my other artists because they had a program that could design faster. Not better they didn’t care if it looked good just they were faster than everyone else. I went back to school to learn app and web development. I already got the video and graphics background now I can do it all.
They have programs that can write music as well.
@@KLAWNINETY Reminds me of the "I, robot" movie.
Cop to robot: You're a soulless machine, Can you write a symphony? Paint a masterpiece?
Robot to cop: Can you?
That was a sick burn.
And what's sad is client facing software really does need a good intuitive design. That usually requires the human touch to make new innovative things. Design is something that a lot of devs can't do (speaking from seeing it in group projects) and I hate it when people brush it off as unnecessary. Do you want a basic java UI? Cause that's how you get a basic Java UI lol
Yes it’s not only about being outcompeted by machines directly. It’s also about being outcompeted by super talented humans whose productivity is amplified by machines.
I remember 1) the travel agency, where I would buy my flight, 2) the photo shop, where I would buy the film for my camera 3) the disk shop, where I would get the DVD album of my favourite artist 4) the phone shop, where you could call abroad at a cheap price - all this is in 20 years!
The art portion of this video is aging like milk
I kinda expected a skillshare sponsorship at the end lol when you talked about learning new skills and such lol
That would have been a clever sponsorship :)
Your statement by itself makes the ad unnecessary. The company’s name is already ingrained in your mind.
"Have you tried turning it off and on again" reallyyy made me chuckle LOL !!! great video guys!
Don't forget Knocker-Uppers, who tapped on people's windows to wake them up before the invention of alarm clocks. Great video!
Great content as always, but I have bad news for you, the picture at 1:02 (from Raphael's painting of the School of Athens) is of Plato, not Aristotle. Plato was older than Aristotle (Plato was Aristotle's teacher), and is pointing up signifying his focus on the forms and the heavens. Raphael depicts Aristotle as younger and pointing out signifying his greater focus on the empirical sciences (he's to Plato's left in your picture, in blue with his hand outstretched).
Sorry, as a educational philosophy creator I just had to point it out. :)
Great points! I always thought of it as “how can I learn/improve my skills all the time?” If you do that you will always find work.Great video!
Thanks for mentioning occupational therapists!! I'm an OT & when I heard you mention my field, I lit up! I LOVE my profession but many people do not know what we do. You put a smile on my face, thanks again!
I just started a new job as a chemist at my city’s water treatment facility. While I am doing things like extraction methods that are FAR from being automated, I’m also working with automation on the analytical side of things. It’s really making me take stock in my technical skills and I’ve decided to take up some online coding classes to really up my acumen in computer science.
When that robot asked “what is love,” the old lady should have said “baby don’t hurt me”
I'm a Physical Therapist. Until they start making PT Terminators, I think I'm all right :)

Software engineers have been automating many parts of their own jobs for years. There is still a high demand for software engineers. Much of the automation has led to lowering the barrier to entry as well.
Engineers: “ No one is safe “.
Every job can be automated, is just a matter of when…
What about the engineers designing the system to automate those other engineers?
@@Obbliteration AI that code AI, and that AI code more powerful AI that code even more powerful AI
engineering will surely be the last to be automated if we ever even
reach that point
@@Obbliteration This is currently happening but it is more difficult to automated a complex job.
@@josh3337 Agreed… Same with Physicist and Mathematicians.
Your counsellor telling you to go home and have a good nights sleep is the human equivalent of “have you turned it off and back on again?”
"We have to teach our kids something unique, so that a machine can never catch up with us: values, believing, independent thinking, teamwork, care for others - the soft skills - sports, music, painting, arts, to make sure humans are different from machines." - Jack Ma
easier said than done tho
Really makes you think if so much more could be achieved with engineering firefighting instead of package delivery or so-called automated processes that actually gets rid of the employee but makes the customer do the lifting (self-checkout).
AI art not being able to replace real art yet aged poorly
"You can get a good job teaching robots and algorithms to take other people's jobs away."
What a great advice!
4:26 Aged like a fine milk
The artist one didn’t age well
4:45 This aged like milk in 2022/2023.
This is pure gold, thank you. You guys are fantastic btw. Cheers from Peru.
Its always refreshing to watch tame content like this, educational, fun too watch, and most information is applicable to day to day life!
I was genuinely waiting for the Skillshare ad when Philip said something about "you're going to learn new skills". TH-cam has broken my brain.
As a school counseling grad student this makes me happy to hear!! Yay counseling services 🎓
In order for automation to be sustainable, the whole paradigm of our citizenry, business and society will have to radically change. Our current state of inequality will not be able to handle the logistics and infrastructure of this type of world.
Inequality has literally nothing to do with it lmfao. The big wigs with cash in their pockets will continune to invest in technology that will if anything create FURTHER inequality by removing jobs that were previously done by lower education/skilled indivudals of whom are in a lower class since they can't make enough money
This is why I want to study to be a plumber or HVAC technician as a side job.
@Tyler my intention is to be a weekend plumber or HVAC technician. During the week do my regular job.
Just make sure you focus on maintenance work.
With modular construction and automated prefab factories those jobs won't be needed on construction.
There is no company that will hire you just to work two days a week. Unless you go solo, in that case you will need to register yourself as a LLC and get insurance.
@@stayathomemarine that's the idea. My goal is to retire from my job in the next 5-10 years and then do my own work as a technician some days per week and earn enough just to keep the property tax collector, electricity, water and internet companies happy.
@@dachicagoan8185 Your goal is not going to be some thing that almost anyone is going to work with you on. HVAC companies typically never work the weekend, unless you’re working for a large scale business, most construction companies absolutely abhor working on the weekend. You have to do continuing education, which will cost some money regardless of how you want to look at it, and you’re not going to be very useful overall to the company only working so much. It’s funny when you look at people who have absolutely no experience with the types of actual humans working in these industries. Good luck in getting a lashed out the door trying to be a weekend warrior. If you wanna go work for yourself, you’re going to have to go get not only years of experience, you will have to get an administrators card in order to even legally do any work at all. All of these require continuing education, and you’re just going to get beat out by people who actually make it their life‘s work. It’s not a casual industry.
I’m a stenographic court reporter. For decades people have stated my job would die out. Yes, recording devices have gotten much better better throughout the years. Siri and Alexa has gotten better too. But the speed at which people speak along with slang, accents, these devices are not at a point of replacing my field. As the years continue, technology gets better and better and we definitely implement it in our jobs. We find ways to make it help us and to better our skills. Recording devices may replace a few of us but those who are willing to learn and grow with our job will never be replaced! #stenographer #realtime
We need 'unskilled' jobs because there will always be unskilled people. It's actually insulting to say to someone 'lost your supermarket job?, oh well become an expert in robotics instead'. Not everyone gets to go to university. not everyone wants too! And the older you get the more limited your choices become ,once there is mortgage and children etc. Also it elitist to say that shop workers/reception staff etc can be replace by robots because the work is predictable, clearly they have never done that kind of work.
automated services sometimes make the activity more precarious
Or the more obvious solution, Universal Basic Income. We don't need to work, but certainly most people would like to (I think).
No one is entitled to a job. You have to compete and earn it.

Thank god I liked genetics as a kid and am now finishing up my PhD in Human Genetics at the perfect time to strike gold in the market. Frankly, I just got lucky :-/
Be very careful about this, the market does not always adapt well to technological advancements in health. Look at the anti-vax movement for example, do you think people will start paying you to mess with their genetics anytime soon? I doubt it.
@@yt_nh9347 Well people are already using CAR-Tcell therapy to kill cancers, viral therapy to cure bleeding disorders, mRNA therapy to attenuate mendelian diseases so I feel pretty confident that enough people, aka people who are aware of the risks their own diseases poses to them, would be more willing to receive treatment. Not to mention the companies creating these therapies are back by a lot of venture capital, which is indicative that people who know the market way better than the both of us think it will be fine. Also most genetic therapies aren't even about directly editing peoples genes as it stands.
My main emphasis is people aren't getting vaccinated because they don't perceive covid as a threat, but people with disorders that actively are ruining there lives will be much more agreeable to receiving cures. Chemo sucks and people still go on it.
@@RunWithIt_ people need to drop the COVID talk in terms of innovation. That virus is holding back innovation. You’re gonna be looking for leppers that don’t exist in a few years, screeching about politicized medicine while some major advancement goes unnoticed.
@@Saixjacket dude you know that the same technology that made the Moderna Covid vaccine is having their HIV vaccine go to trial right? What is your angle?
Regarding art, poetry...etc they are the most vulnerable to be replaced IMHO. Look at dall-e 2. Also note that most commercial form of stories and songs ...etc have a well-known template.
The most important skill for the modern day worker is adaptation and constant learning.
The world around us advances so rapidly, as are our jobs, tech and so on, that being able to embrace the new and always try to learn "how the young kids are doin it" is a must to be relevant in the work force, no matter what you do.
Love that you used the phrase "new fangled" lol You now your century old jargon!
4:45 aged poorly :/
Morale of the story, we need to lower the minimum full-time hours. Why do we have have some people working 60 hours a week, and then 3 people that are unemployed?
That could be because the3 unemployed persons cannot do the work that the people working 60 hours are able to do .think twice before posting a question that is rhetorical as hell
The supply and demand of the skills of the workers in question.
Unemployed people usually do not have high demand job skills.
I’d love it if robots could do restaurant health inspections.
I’m a Respiratory Therapist .. Many years ago some people thought nurses were going to take over our jobs .. I don’t think our jobs will be replaced by anything or anyone .. who wants to take this life death responsibility after all ? We are so short now with covid that we can literally work 7 days

Should homeowners in California invest in Solar? If so, shall we rent or buy solar panels.
Love this video concept. I think about this all the time! I think they key is to continue to learn new skills and grow. Also focus on working smarter (jobs that require complex decision making), not harder.
The only problem with HVAC, Plumbing, Electricians etc is that it'll be relegated to maintenance of pre-existing structures.
Between Automation and Modular construction they won't be needed in construction. That means there won't as much demand for those professions
I think my job is fairly future-proof. It's now finally seen as a useful career path because people start to understand what we do. It touched on 3/5(you could argue 4) future proof jobs. Yes, it's in tech.
