Unfortunately with the current projection of things, the pay from that job that you have spent most years in school preparing for and trying to get may soon not be able to sustain you economically in the near future. Also, that dream job/career that you are working and hoping so hard to get may soon become an obsolete profession due to the change and evolution in technology and ways of doing things.

My opinion on the way forward?
 -Upgrade your mindset and break free from the old mentality of "Finish School, Get a Job, and work yourself for a paycheck to retirement". If you have a great job, and it is what you love, I'm not against it, but for the sake of the future...you must arm yourself with knowledge and learn a high paying skill that has future prospectives if possible.

Some High Paying Skills of the Future;

-Blockchain
-Coding And Software Enhancement
-Networking Development
-Algorithms Designer
-Cloud Computing
-UI Designer
-Software Computing
-Analyst
-Public Relations
-Video Production
-Audio Production
-Sales (Ex. Affiliate, Offline)
-Digital Marketing & SEO
-Copywriting
-Content Creation
-Cybersecurity & Ethical Hacking
-Machine Learning
-Financial Management
-Trading
-Foreign Languages
-Management Consulting
-Art, design, photography
-Sports/Fitness Coach/Nutritionist

If it is possible for you to have multiple high paying skills, that is good, the problem is in not having any.

Many of the high paying skills you listed are actually professions which are studied in the university and not just skills you acquire on the Internet. Of course, you could teach yourself or take an online course, but considering the nature of this post, it should be pointed out that they are professions. Also, so many jobs are full time and cannot be joined with another job, except if that job can be done remotely

Is there a rationale to this projection? Or a link one can check out? The only thing I can think of is inflation, which would reduce the value of money earned and increase the value of products in the market; This is a salient issue and should push one to get multiple streams of income rather than relying on just one.
Finding an alternative stream of income does not require learning a new skill.

---

P.S, I'm not against leaning a new skill, it's a very much needed requirement in today's world, I'm just creating a counter argument so most people would know what they're going in for when embarking on it.

Being an entrepreneur or self-employed isn't for everyone.It requires a lot more effort and hard work.
Most of the people simply aren't born to be entrepreneurs.
All the "education is a scam,9/5 jobs are for the losers,it's cool to have no boss and be your own boss" type of propaganda is shared mostly by fake "online gurus",who want you to buy their expensive shitty online courses.I'm sick of all the "working online is cool,having a normal job sucks" BS.
Working online is as hard as working offline.
We all know that the education system is far away from being perfect,but you can't succeed in life without proper education.The things mentioned in your list cannot be learned in a couple of months without proper education.
I know that the future is unpredictable and we have to adapt,but do you think that all the people on the planet can become blockchain experts,programmers,developers,freelancers,web designers,affiliate marketers,copywriters,etc.?
 

It's not about the places that pay well, it's about enjoying what you're doing 10 years ago, none of the jobs were at their highest value, but they're now with excellent returns and that may change in the future. What I'm trying to say here is that everything changes so continue with education otherwise these current jobs may not have value in the future

We're on the time that you can have various skills and use them for having different jobs at the same time. Having one job is in the past and there are a lot of professionals today that don't settle on having one job. It's like that they're full time to one and be part time to another one for which they're honing their skills and monetizing it at the same time. Most of the skills that everyone can learn now and earn on it are related to digital.

Someone once said (can't find quote):
"Your kid will most likely work in a job that is not yet invented".

Taking into consideration how fast technology and deep learning evolves i can tell you that most likely you will not pick now a well paid job in 20 years perspective. There might be no jobs like "Foreign Languages", "Trading", "Analyst" but instead the most paid jobs will be "friend for rent" or "pro gamer" or something as crazy as "artificial family" or "social interaction coach" something that sound so dump now but with everything being done by AI in future there will be nothing serious for us humans to do.

With like 10% of work beding done by humans and 90% by machines we will have some sort of salary for non-workers big enough to enable them leaving confortable life. Or even a non-money solution. So most likely you will commite sueside from being bored or no meaning in life rather than die from lack of money to leave. Am I making this out? Well ... not really - "you will own nothing and be happy" is what the elites are planning to achieve and are constantly discussed in the global economic forum. - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=de5sxxnKOac&ab_channel=GeorgeGammon

Hmm, a website with the name "startuptalky" recommending mostly tech-based jobs--shocker there.

How about the younger generation trying to cure cancer or other health problems that this and previous generations of scientists haven't been able to tackle?  Where are all the helping professions and careers that are good for the soul and not strictly for the wallet?  I swear, every day I see more and more youngsters glued to their smartphones instead of interacting with whatever and whoever is right in their vicinity.  They need less screen time, not more of it (although I wouldn't disagree that all of those careers listed are vitally necessary ones with the exception of a few, like content creation and trading).

Your career path should not be driven solely by economic factors, and I think going to college is beneficial as long as one studies something practical--or if one's family has enough money to blow on a 4-year university education, in which case a major in history or psychology might be an option.  But the world is always going to need doctors, nurses, engineers, people in the allied health professions, accountants, and people working in fields only loosely related to technology.  And guess what?  You need a lot of schooling to be in any of those fields.  That investment in your education is an investment in yourself, and it will pay off in time

TL;DR: This is an article heavily biased toward tech and trendy jobs for the zoomer generation and misses a lot of key points regarding career selection.

Man, that was being said back in the 1950s about life in the 1980s.  Didn't happen.  There will always be a need for human input and work.  Always.

You are right but the need for human input and work is going down and down witch each year. Just putting here an agriculture as an example:
https://i.imgur.com/lqf2K3Y.png
https://ourworldindata.org/employment-in-agriculture

In 1950 around 15-20% of people were employed in agriculture now its like 5-10%. In 2050 it will be 1-5%. Those poeple need to find other place to work and this is thanks to the invention of agricultural machinery and GPS. Same will happend most professions because of AI in next 30 years. Those people will stop working or work as a person who licks microfone for $5-7 million per year (amouranth  on thich).

I agree with the op that the old scheme doesn't work anymore. For me, it's important to diversify and do many different things. I don't think that any of the things I currently do will become obsolete, but the demand can become lower, and also it's just more interesting for me to do various things I care about rather than focus on one task. After all, life isn't long, and I don't want to spend all of it, dedicated to one job. Keeping in mind useful skills and updating knowledge is also very important, of course, because the world is changing very fast, and requirements keep changing.

Do we think this is a growing future skill or it is already existing because from beginning of creation there has been relation and public relation, Aaron spoke for Moses etc. My point here then is public relation has been a field that has been existing as far back and is included in the tertiary curriculum or subjects against those others listed that are connected to cryptography and digital learning.

Generally the challenge for the listed fields is education, those not educated are already disadvantaged. Is that to mean there are no artisan field with no formal education or lesser education with prospect for the future

Or is this topic restating the importance of a level of formal learning.

Which country you live in is also a major factor in your decision to pursue such skills and use them to your advantage.
Technology will always be a much needed skill, plus right now countries are striving to achieve great deal of success when it comes to digitalized currencies, some of them are also making their own which would require a whole lot of people employed in the new developing market.
It's not just about diversity, it's also about quality and how well you master the intended skill you are putting out for your future.
I always feel like medicine is a very important skill now a days, chemists, pharmacists, doctors, nurses everyone is needed especially during the time of the pandemic therefore, if that's something that is possible for you then you should definitely go for it as well.

Yeah the quote itself reminds me of the Rich Dad Poor Dad book that I’ve read years ago. It’s exactly what my parents taught me as they’re having a traditional mindset. In my early years of post-graduation, I was struggling to find my footing in the online world of being a virtual assistant. I don’t have a stable client (only a few lucky ones but only lasted several months), in which I am criticized by my parents for years comparing me to my younger sisters whose office jobs are stable. They keep urge me to land a stable job like a real office job or in the government. However, I don’t find freedom in office jobs as I prefer something that no one controls the time but me.

I also got into network marketing and had a little success in selling nutritional health products. But once again, my family isn’t supportive. In the end due that my expenses are more than my income, I don’t have much savings and already broke. My mindset was result-oriented rather than career-oriented. No matter how hard I tried, I was unsuccessful and there’s a point where my parents “sermon” me in the worst way possible.

You know what saved me? Cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology!

It turned my life around. It all started by just joining airdrops and bounty programs. I was broke that time, but I kept my faith and eventually the results made me finally pay back my debts, giving back to my family, traveling around the corner, etc. Plus, I’ve landed a few crypto jobs as well, but what I have been passionate about is more on doing videos and as a public speaker. Despite that I lost my job again months before the pandemic lockdown, I never gave up finding another crypto opportunity and I did and the rest is history.

I don't think we can really prepare much for the future unless we try to prepare ourselves in multiple domains. For example, I see Universal Basic Income as part of the future - which probably means our jobs will be replaced by robots as we're already witnessing this right now.

I agree with you, Pharmacist - we will still need humans to do some of the work. But as tech advances, we will gradually be replaced by robots up to a point where we will probably only be useful at improving robots & tech and fixing those that go faulty. I've seen what "digitalized cities" look like and it's quite eerie. When you have to interact with nobody anymore but just buttons and robots, you realize how useless we'll all really become.

On the other hand, I do think that replacing human labor with robots will at one point have a significant negative impact on the society, up to a point where we'll go back to human labor again. So preparing for the future is more of a subjective matter of discussion, one that depends on how you actually think the future would look like.

Well tbf, most of the jobs that you've listed are jobs that require you to actually spend a fuckton on it, not just simply studying it up in a year or two. Like they say, it takes years for your craft to actually blossom and for it to be considered as something as "high paying". Not to mention the competition since if you yourself know that those are jobs that are being taken up now adays, others would also know of it no? Though afaik at the current state there's actually still a lot of demand for it.

The future remains uncertain to us, what matters is now and what we are doing to blend in the moment, as the world advanced new technology come in that shape the way we do some certain things, some people already adapting to this new ways while others are still finding their way,   for example, because of the pandemic lots of things have changed, many people even with this high skills don't have a job (something nobody anticipated for) the Internet becomes a saving grace for most people with skills, well not everyone is lucky enough to nail that high flying job despite their qualifications,  I think preparing for the future is not just having a specific skills or profession, it requires more and since the future is uncertain you will never know until you get to that period.

Skill is good to have and it dont have to be as numerous as numbers, to be focused is person who have a perfect and be consistent to the such kind of skill, having different or thousands of skills will definitely divide the attention of the person's career and the person in particular won't be focused, and remember that some of the working skill listed is not every that can sustain live with that. Because it might work out some people but not all.

Future belong to those investors that prepared well. Now that many countries are try to recover from what covid-19 virus has collapsed during the pandemic. Many investors are well prepared for the future in case there is any economy shaking they can use bitcoin or other crypto to balance the shaking in the country.
Buy now that the price of bitcoin are gradually decreasing in the market, to enable you to make a reasonable profit in the future. Use this strategies to view the market price before you buy because their are many coins that look good to buy which are not good for future profit making.

I would like to agree with this for sure. Human brain is a very complex processor which can probably reach 1 exaFLOP calculations per second but the fastest supercomputer Fugaku has just reached 400-500 petaFLOP calculations which when maximized can reach 1.42 exaFLOP per second. Although we are faster in terms of hardware and had successfully reached 1/2 of the human brain processing power, software hasn't reached the stage to make a completely self-dependent AI which can think on it's own. For the beta stage of a fully human equivalent AI to come out to the public, it might take another century or two but they might still not be able to challenge the human intelligence IMO.

Obviously the repetitive jobs will and should be replaced by AI and automated workforce like robots so that humans can work on the ways to improve these machines for performing even more complex tasks. If the current gen youngsters are still working on a manual job, they need to learn something new and move on to other jobs which won't be replaced by automations or AI anytime soon. For instance Manual QA job is a dying field and there would be absolutely no scope or future in working as one since automations are killing the respective field and might be replaced completely anytime soon within a few years.

Similarly gambling shitcoins for the next 100x alone won't sustain for long term and obviously it would reach a miserable death in a few more months. Rather than that, building something on top of cryptocurrencies like a new exchange or a new alt chain or a NFT or contributing towards Bitcoin and getting hired by Square will be beneficial for long term. Manual jobs will and should be replaced by automations and AI whereas humans should start focusing on ways to improve this world for the betterment of the future generations.

I agree with some of your point being presented but I don't think that not going to school makes a difference also. I love in a 3rd world country where applying for a job needs a degree or a diploma even for those at the sales department. Well for me, it is wise for us to adopt in these changing times. 1 work will never suffice for the preparation of our future. It needs a decent paying job and a side hustle added by investments. In my country, working for the government is great rather than those private firms. It pays a decent salary but still small compare to sales. And btw, Social Media creators/influencers earns more money than most profession.

Particularly automobile industry is getting automatic which means the driver job will be obsolete in the future and jobs like being a labour in the industry wl be replaced by bots but certain industry will never take a bkw which is food and medical if I am nkt wrong so focus on those sectors to get better success rate and avoid being a technology guy because not everyone is going to become a developer since there will be no more consumer then.

Most people think they need a job after the end of the student life. This isn't bad at all if we have a fixed income source. But we shouldn't fix and limit our knowledge for that job. We can do more things out of the job if we need multiple income sources. And it's always will help you to improve your lifestyle.

Actually, I am interested in coding in Web development. I feel it's a very hard task to learn. I am not sure if I can learn it. Due to lack of time can't spend much time though but strat watching YouTube videos to learn. But sadly anything not entering my mind. Besides that, I am in cryptocurrency for a long time. Don't want to depend on only one job since I already left my job from abroad and trying to do something myself. Not sure I would succeed or lose.

You know, right from time people who always hoped that they would graduate and get a job and start making money, they usually end up on the losing side. It’s always best to plan yourself ahead of time and always make sure you’re up to date with trends on the Internet, that way you will be able to tell what’s working and what’s not really going to work.

This time around is good that there are now lots of universities that you can attend online and be able to acquire new skills that can help you to land any job you would like to get.  Just like when blockchain became a trend in the industry, I know a few people who attended an online university and got a degree to be able to become blockchain engineers. So, that’s really the way to go and I really appreciate the suggestions that you have made. I’m also going to encourage people to lookout for opportunities like this.

As far as I know, skills are something that is unique and can be honed by anyone. But to be able to compete and survive in the era of development in the future, we need these unique skills according to what we like. I can't force myself to master some of the lists you've written. I'm just trying to do what I can at the moment, even though it's not considered extraordinary for some people. In this sophisticated era, many people are competing to occupy vacant places, or some kind of financial-generating sector that is not touched by most people out there. What comes to my mind now is to be myself by taking advantage of the available resources.

Most of the listed courses above are professions not just a skill and people earn up to doctorate degree in pursuit of those courses. But it can still be acquired outside the four walls of a learning environment which could be online majorly from most free academies that offer this courses free. The cycle of life is gradually changing and approach to problems is taking a new format, so acquiring a digital skills can actually come in handy

I am studying something I have passion for, I love you safe life and nurse people back to health, am not sure of how much am going to be paid for doing this and if I have enough I might be giving free services for this, some of us Don't see our professions for money although the money may encourage some but not me, I am passionate about it and if my profession gets technical and it saves life's I wouldn't mind that, I want to pursue my dreams and if crypto-currency gives me millions I will use some of it to make health care affordable, it's about the dreams you have in doing the profession you want.

I agree that there will always be need for people, but that need is growing smaller and smaller every single day. The problem is not that we will still have a job, it is about how many jobs will there be and how many people will there be? Right now we are getting quite closer to 8 billion I suppose, over 7 billion people in the world and I am pretty sure we do not have enough jobs for all of them.

Let's assume half of those numbers are people who are too old to work or too young to work, we still have 3-4 billion people that needs to work and unemployment globally shows that we are not there at all. All in all we will have a big problem when robots are taking some of that job, even if 1 billion jobs are taken by robots, and 2-3 billion is still left, we will not be able to find job enough to cover all the people who need a job and that is the root of the problem.

This couldn't be more cliché.

Specialized professions always paid more than simple 9-5 jobs, yeah I know it. But, you know what? I've bored watching a sudden rush of young people wanted to become rich by doing some easy, weird, savvy work they've seen from social media. Yes, if you make an account that'll reach 100k followers you may have a decent allowance, but have you any idea how many people fail on their way to do so? Besides, what do they gain from it besides this temporary recognition?

When they see how hard it is, they feel blue, because they believe they're incapable. This is why I sometimes hate the cryptocurrency industry. It has make the youth think that there's an easy way to enrich themselves if they buy the proper shitcoin, instead of spending their time doing something practical and useful for the society.

Also, Pharmacist, great writeup!

Can you elaborate? What is the source of this claim? Because there's a lot of professions like lawyers, doctors, engineers and so on that will still be relevant and high-paying in the future. And getting into trendy profession simply because it's trendy is actually not the greatest idea, those fields quickly become saturated, and employers aren't looking for just anyone to do the job, they are looking for people will talent and passion.

maybe .... in the future competition and the number of graduates are no longer in need so they can't guarantee a job for them
but the most basic thing is opportunity and opportunity, sometimes it is not in line with what we have learned in school, not this is very irrelevant with what they have prepared ....

Years back someone with the passion for these have turned their passion as profession. This is what success is all about. Right now we're thinking of the high pay and moving towards it, leaving our passion. As mentioned it is all about education that matters, because with time development changes its direction. Only education can keep us on the track. For now it is BlockChain and associated development. For the future which is gonna take control of the world is under study.

Interesting topic. Majority of us basically do whatever it takes to try and reach the top despite our personal preferences and this is a fact. However, the minority including me care more about finding a job that we love primarily.

The best way to prepare for the future in my opinion is to focus on the profession that you love and acquire skills related to that profession. Don't focus on what others think of your preferences.

I quite agreee with The Pharmacist here.

Moreover, it is not only biased in this. Those of us who are middle aged have a harder time acquiring new high-paying skills as cited. I'm not going to become an Algorithm Designer or work in Coding and Software Enhancement.

But the way I have been preparing for the future, and have been doing for years, has been saving and investing. If I were to become unemployed now, I wouldn't be able to live on rents for the rest of my life but I could hold on for a while, and in the meantime I would get income from poker, signature campaigns, dividends and I could even sell small amounts of Bitcoin.

So I think The Pharmacist has hit the nail on the head in that the article is too biased about tech jobs.

all i can say is your bitcoin and invest until you accumulate a large amount soo it's time for yourself even if you don't finish school also study while,even you still in bitcoin because one day we can't say how long it will end or after  a year bitcoin has no value I'm not saying lose bitcoin but its you prefer what we are now atleast when the right time comes you are ready for yourself not only to be a bitcoiner but to be a professional someday.

I feel that we're on the same page mate well aside that I'm not really interested in Web Development, I am currently continue acquiring skills and knowledge and planning to apply for a job within the month but those high paying jobs that OP have had listed some are requiring a degree and certificates, can't afford the degree so I am only enrolling in many online educational platforms related to the field that I wanted to pursue and gain certificates. While I am improving my skills in trading crypto and stocks I am also upscaling my knowledge more in technology, I wanted to become a tech savvy crypto traders and investors and earning fixed income too at the same but aiming to do it on my own pace.

You mentioned some high paying skills but more than all of them I'm thinking about ai and machine learning in my own idea time after time and by doing more research in this field we can see more intreating ai systems and devices, so I would mention and ai and machine learning at least between 3 top items. After that, blockchain can and blockchain programming of curse can be a very good paying job because there are many companies entering in the field and the will hire people with a good salary, also there are not many professional people in this field yet and there is still empty space for the people who are interested.

I disagree with this. I graduated in College and living a life that I always dreamed of. I don't think that by not studying specially that these days competition is really hard where companies are hiring the top students having good credentials than those whos at the back of the classroom. I am in a construction field and this is one of the most in demand job out there specially that in my country, we are still developing. Lots of projects are out there are waiting with high income return. However, in the near future where less infrastructure are built upon, and digitalisation is already a global standard, I still don't think that those computer based work are much supreme than being a supervisor in a mall nor selling products.

Some jobs which demand human workforce in the 20th century like in the army or a space mission where human life will be in greater risked if anything goes wrong demands to be replaced by non-living machines whereas humans should move onto areas like research or finding out ways to make the repetitive work simpler etc. I think areas where repetitive work force is needed should be replaced by automations/AI in general for better well being and thereby trying to improve the world we live in to pave a better way for future generation. Moreover, entrepreneurs are decreasing at an enormous rate in the developing countries which can decrease the number of jobs as well.

For example, in a populated poor country like Congo where people used to live under $1 per day should be taught the basics of schooling so that the children over there can help the GDP of the country to rise to an extent thereby supporting the needy.

Should the government be blamed for this or the people who live there? If we are able to correct the roots, we would be able to offer jobs for the 2-3 billion you have been pointing out in the post above  :(

There are many people who are not in the student life anymore and they don't have interest and time in learning the blockchain and all these concepts. For them the best thing is to invest in the crypto currencies and hold them for good returns. Of course this can only be done by those have money to invest.

Things could be only if you are really that capable which is normal but if you dont have those things needed for you to engage on then thats unfortunate.

On situations like these then you would really be mainly be wise on what are the things you should do which you do seem to be that potential
which could give out profits which would really help out on your financial.

Preparing for future is something we do aim for and we do all sorts of things for that particular matter.

Diplomas never guarantee anything, nowadays skills are superior. Because not a few of those who graduate from college, if in the end they are not really serious in learning, they will only spend money in vain. Skills are not measured by how high a person's position is, because it can be bought if the person does have skills that can be learned by self-taught.
Nowadays people always have a negative stigma towards those who can't afford college. Though not necessarily college can be successful.

But even then, you will still be working under someone for the rest of your life except if you are working on a project and decide to play your part in the project by doing the above listed skills you highlighted above.
Personally, I will work hard and raise enough capital and buy as more and more good coins and hold for future sake and them one day I will retire and enjoy my lambo in the 50s and 60s, I can't work like a donkey for the rest of my life when an average life span is 70 years.
Work hard while you are still in your early stage of life and enjoy tomorrow.

What a random list of jobs you've put together. The world in a hundred (or maybe several hundred) years is going to be a vastly different place to what it is now and really people need to be extremely adaptable to whatever skills are in demand. That demand will fluctuate, you speak of SEO work but a lot of that is automated and many of these jobs may be replaced by certain types of artificial intelligence in the near future. The world could be a vastly different place in a hundred years where hopefully work becomes optional (universal income) and automated systems do a lot of the hard work that people do now. It's better not to fear change, but embrace it and look for new unidentified opportunities.

To always evolve is the name of the game, many jobs have become obsolete during the last decade due to the advancement of AI and other technological improvements and there is no other way forward but to adapt to this new reality and improve ourselves constantly.

If you can accurately predict where the demands is going to shift you can learn the skill before the demand actually shifts, and once it does you will have it already which means you will get to grow very rapidly due to the increased demand and the low supply of skilled people, all in all this is nothing new and it is something those that are trying to improve their lives have always known.

As some of the others have pointed out, the skills that were listed by the OP usually require a serious degree but at the same time some of them can be obtained from internet. I agree with the general idea and if I was 18 I would indeed consider these, nevertheless world is somehow also same and there will always be a huge need for energy, steel, logistics services etc. and these can be considered essential which are always  solid areas of work.

Learning a new skill, in my opinion, takes time and sometimes money. We should devote all of our time and effort to learning these skills. The list has a lot of potential and will be in high demand this year and in the future. I believe that if you have the time to learn these things, you should invest in it and learn them properly because you will be able to use them in your future work.

Well, everything related to IT and Computer science is always going to be the high paying skills now and in the future.
Why?
Because everything we use today is being run by a program.
POS, Cars, Motorcycle, Appliances, and etc. Almost everything we have today is being run by a program.
Even the blockchain technology.
So, Yeah i kinda agree to most of the specific list in the OP.

You can have all the High Paying Skills in the world, but it will mean nothing if there are high unemployment and stiff competition for work in this world. We have seen huge disruption in business with this whole Covid pandemic and a lot of people losing their jobs due to "lockdowns" ...so the competition for work has just increased more as a result of that.

A lot of websites has jumped on the bandwagon to pitch courses for high paying jobs, but people cannot afford it or it does not help them.. because jobs are scarce.  ::)

After getting into bitcoin investments, I am feeling like I am comfortable with my earning and I strongly believe that my future will be secured along with the returns from bitcoin investments. Still I agree that everyone must need to work hard so that we will save more and invest more into bitcoin (if they believe like myself) so that we will get better benefits in the future.

I guess we do not need to have multiple skills but with same set of skills we must create multiple income stream to secure our future. I mean it will not be possible for most people to learn and develop different skills but I believe everyone will able to work on different income stream to earn more.

The future is always unpredictable, when we think the future will be good because we work or do business but because of the unexpected impact then the plan often fails, to improve the future the best thing is to invest, plan investment even with a small budget every month and this will make our future better.

Agreed. Though it is only applicable in some countries unlike some countries specially in south east asia, companies don't accept employees who don't have diplomas. It will always be hard if you don't have one. However, diploma's is just a proof that you studied that course. It is not an assurance that you know well in that field. Experience is still the best one for that.

Somehow, you have a point that we need to break the cycle to be able to catch up with the time. We know that world changes drastically, we need to have a projection what to do for us to survive this harsh world, yes sitting in a 9am to 5pm job isn't gonna be enough because you're working to make your boss get richer while you make less. School didn't teach us the proper lesson about the world but instead gaves us wrong idea what to do, like go to school and work after graduate to have some few savings after retirement it's like forgetting the life we should have.

Those listed work or skills in the above are true as of todays generation, but we know for sure that in the future some of those jobs aren't gonna be the same like today or worse it'll be obsolete. Also, those skills stated above aren't just acquired or learned in the internet, you have to go to some academies or universities to make them teach you about that knowledge.

True, business is often the best remedy to make our lives stable enough but it depends on what business you invest. We need to be careful in every decisions we make in our life, not all the time we need failure to learn because nowadays effort and money is very costly and world is changing constantly, it won't wait for us. Some businesses fail because they're already enjoying and forget to foresee the what the future holds. That's why investing in other 2-3 businesses or passive incomes can make you prepare enough for future plans.
And yes investing or acquiring some skills are indeed very important, we need to be versatile to remain afloat.

Unfortunately I have found that the majority of information and knowledge that I was taught at school was just useless. I was not taught financial literacy and some other useful skills of how to be interviewed, where to find the job etc. The only thing that school really develop in a human is the ability to think and ponder and the ability to negotiate with people.

You will be dazzled at the Salary a developer and programmer earns in my country and to tell you that this job are not valued two years back. But to be candid not everybody can be that, we need cleaners, receptionist and all to make life easier for us. We just need to strive for the best in this life

At school we are only taught about general things and even for our own skills we usually learn self-taught,
Of course, this must be addressed so that in the future it will be better.
Hopefully in the future there will be changes and hopefully it can really come true

This is what I am doing and it is a quite difficult period. I have unexpected health related stuff nowadays and I am not spending any dime from my crypto savings. I do not have much, I had to take a bit out to pay for hospital and some drugs, but I am doing fine, rest I put into debt and I am paying it for months.

Nowadays I have like 100 bucks a month debt (not a lot for many here, but minimum wage is 300 dollars here so it is a lot where I live). That way I literally have debt that I will pay and arrange my life accordingly. I do not live a good rich persons life, but I am not in poverty neither, I am doing fine while saving some aside and also paying my debt, rest goes to bills and such and I live a decent life thanks to this method.

I think this is the way things are going as well, specialization while profitable contains the hidden risk that if for some reason the demand of your skill drops or if it can become automated then you will find yourself without a job or with a salary many times smaller than what you were getting so far, so the only option is to be willing to embrace change and instead have several skills so in the case one of your skills losses its value you still have others that can be marketed for a decent wage.

Honestly, all you've listed are the profession nowadays that is needed to any job. Interesting topic. Majority of us basically do whatever it takes to try and reach the top despite of our personal preferences and that is a fact. However, as a student, minority of us including me choose a job that we love. As far as I know skills are something that is unique and can be honed by anyone. But, to be able to compete and survive in the era of development in the future, we probably need these unique skills according to what we like.

The best way to prepare for the future is to choose and focus on the profession you love, the profession that your confident of. Don't depend on what other's opinion. Do what you love and what you like for you to be confident on the job you chooses.

Anything that has something to do with technology will be an in demand no matter where you go, you're only limited with where you're from and how is the labor laws and wages in your place. I think a proper preparation for the future is like the best thing that you can do as a person that wants to lead a fulfilled life especially with a capitalistic society, it's going to be a difficult life if you're poor.

especially with the current digitalization era, technological developments are always a good business opportunity. especially in the future, I think this will continue to grow, just like cryptocurrencies, if we knew we would have invested as much as possible. and of course there will be other technological developments, and we must be good at reading opportunities

Now that many signs are showing in the economy inflation, it will be a good thing for those countries who never legalized bitcoin in their country to do that, so that what happened during pandemic will not repeat itself again in the world economy. Allow the youths to be more develop on cryptocurrency than any others activities in the country to have a good preparation for the future economy and to make it standard to their citizens.
Let the government create a good environment for cryptocurrency users and to give them a good security that will make them comfortable with their investment in the community.

Yes, at this time you could say the development of technology is increasingly massive,
we know for ourselves that in the future there will be advanced technologies such as metaverse,
and I agree with you because after all it is very important to keep up with technology developments and use it to make a profit

something related to technology is a necessity in the present and future so that it becomes one of the surest opportunities to get a high paying job because every line of work must be related and requires technological intervention and what about those who do not have the talent and knowledge of technology do they still have a chance....? I think, of course. because behind the success of technological intelligence there is still someone's intervention as an implementer to make it happen. it's just how we take the opportunity for it.

Understand that the future will include advanced technologies and know that the current situation is that we need to catch up with technology to gain some advantage in the future but pursuing technology is something very expensive and only for those with a financial base, especially the next time can be a panorama of economic weakness. Sometimes preparing for tomorrow is filled with exhausting emotions, calculating for the future may be overly pompous, thinking more about the future also has no chance of collision due to the current fast-paced and sensitive life that is not allowing far-fetched thoughts

Preparing for the future is an important issue both for the nation and individuals. This preparation starts from school age. Parents should notice about their children that what their children should become in the future. What are their natural motivation and natural tendency? What department of trade will suit them. What is their personality observation?
Seeing today,s life, it is better for the student that after matriculation they should get the professional and technical education. This is a good trend set for their future to eliminate unemployment in the society. Especially in the third world countries, Where poverty, & unemployment are the major problems.

I'd argue the internet has allowed people to become entrepreneurs at a greater rate, and given people the independence for free lance work as well. Combine crypto currency into this equation and the financial independence you're given is at an all time high. The regulations and taxes you face in any developed country in order to operate a business will undoubtedly cause people to not take the risk and dump their resources into their own business.

As you say, artificial intelligence is one of the things that at least for the markets has been implemented for some time, in the field of trading this is often called high frequency trading and it is really very difficult to find information that can educate In fact, the information that there is only have those whales that have this technology, at least in the stock market it is like that, currently in the world of BTC and crypto it is different, there are already bots with AI everywhere, probably in Exchanges In addition, Some people will have implemented these types of bots for trading, however, it is still a topic that very few master due to lack of information.

Based on my understanding regarding the above statement, technology will make a certain profession obsolete. In my opinion, I don't think so. For me, technology will only make things much easier but will not end up to a point making a certain profession lost its significance or no longer be given value especially for jobs/career that requires a degree. I don't think that will happen.

But I agree to the list of skills you posted and for me the one that will really dominate are the skills related to artificial intelligence. Because we all know that AI will be the future of technology and it will top the list. Blockchain will be the second.   :D

No, it will happen. For example, these days content writing is a highly paid job but I do hear there are robots on making which will write articles based on trending key words and by searching the latest news on internet. If that kind of bots get into markets means what will happen to all writers? In my opinion as well, technology is replacing human which may extend up to any level in near future.

Blockchain will rule in all sectors where efficient data managements are in demand and AI will make things easier where complicated process slowing down the progress. So, I am seeing collaboration of these 2 technologies hence which is top or second is not a significant in my opinion.

Maybe we should place focus on ourselves so as to be the focus,the future seems bleak if we don't focus in our present lifestyle.
We all need skill's,we can't just rely on our certificate for jobs,we should start practicing how to make money work for us and not working for money.

In my opinion, from all the lists above, the role of marketing will have the greatest value, we all know that intense competition requires the right marketing strategy. Moreover, the future challenge is to convince investors not to hesitate to invest in managed projects, without a good marketing strategy. the project or product will die.

This is a good idea, however putting it into action will be really challenging. As for myself, I would like to do this, but I lack the necessary financial resources. This is similar to the axie game right now, and if I ever have the capital to purchase a team and hire a scholar to play the game, I believe this is the best option because it is passive income, and we could say that the money is working for us, but for the time being, it is difficult for me because I do not have enough money.

This time in the world, certificate has proved not to be the only thing needed to survive in the world and to search for job. Employers sre taking the advantage of no job to exploit seekers of job. They require more than just certificate to what more you can do. So you don't need just certificate in this competitive economic environment, it appears most people have certificate so having something more becomes an advantage. This advantage is used by employers to maybe screen for the candidate they want which makes the available applicants limited.
The best is to make your money work for you by investment, you don't need to work under someone for all your life, you work for sometime and establish yourself.

Yes, in fact there are many criticisms that have been made to Axie, because many bought some Axies for 900'USD and now they have to auction them up to 150USD, then they say that there is a flaw in the game, that is, many did not get their back investment, some complain that you cannot earn the same as before, but this is normal because the game has that flaw and with the updates that are coming require a greater investment, apart from the fact that the axies that are sold lose the level and the Players have to raise it from Level 1.

Things keeps on changing every time. You can even get and lose it after when it happens to be a job where the employers may decide to replace the human workers with A.I. It’s very good to make sure that we are keeping up with the latest trends and knowing the best things to do for ourselves. The world is changing, and if you don’t have the right skills that are highly in demand, then it’s probably a total waste of time and you would end up being the loser in this we have. The OP did make a great list here. I can remember very well that around last year or two, blockchain was a skill that was highly in demand. There are so many jobs that needs blockchain experts these days.

I agree.

SWEs pay have been absolutely skyrocketing over the past few years and that is a trend for time to come.

You definitely need to be literate in terms of a basic understanding of blockchain technology in order to survive the jobs market in the long run.

The future will always relate to the development of technology.
Probably, there will be another new technology implemented.
But as long as crypto or blockchain technology still exists, I personally will still relate and have additives created to the crypto world.
Crypto is not only a technology but this is also a way for me to make my finances better.
Again, related to finance  ;D

Btw, future technology may be more advanced, crypto maybe also more progressing. That is why it seems that we must always continue learning, whatever happens, learning is very important to always adapt with the current and latest technology and evelopment.

Yeah, expect a lot more techy and creative roles to be remunerated well in comparison to professional services.

A lot of people who initially wanted to go into investment banking or private equity are redirecting their intelligence to learning computer science, which is definitely a good bet.

But I do think that an understanding of economics and finance will be crucial as well. The future of innovation in tech will be with Fintech.

Acquiring more skills is a good thing but finishing studies is an edge. It's better to have a title while doing the things that we enjoy as we earn more than what we expect. If there's a chance to earn more knowledge then we should grab it as long as it would make our future careers better. We're in the modern technology days so we have to deal with every opportunity that it offers.

It's true that we live in an age of rapidly developing technology and we must be able to make good use of it.
at this time also to get knowledge and skills is arguably easier than when the internet and technology have not developed rapidly as it is today

in my place, title is important than skill, but know people who work on that company is more important.
college be good chance to expanse our connection, and title is the main target. even family will play the role, force to get title first. as time go by, how high your rank is great to survive in this world. the fact, learning skill is the best way to flap your future. but, the basic human thought is rank, not skill.

The fact that people want to get a quick advantage over other people do go hand in hand with the fact that we are developing rapidly in technology as well. So, the logic goes with "if people made money with bitcoin then I will make money with eth because it is better" and then when they do, the others go "if they made money with btc and eth, then I will do with SOL because it is better" and it keeps going like that.

What people do not realize is that gold has been around for thousands upon thousands of years and it is still making some people profit. So, if you want to invest into bitcoin then just do it. I am getting more and more btc, eth and bnb investments even though they are at the top, because I do believe in them and what they could do, that's just the way it goes. Rapid tech improvements doesn't mean that it will definitely be better and more profitable.

You listing is ok for me and I think people needs to understand the importance of change. The world is changing currently into digital and blockchain and I know within little time, everything is going to be blockchain oriented and most people are going to lose their jobs. We need to opt in into the blockchain world to be able to enjoy the later benefits it has for us. Very the banks will be operating on blockchain and many staffs are going to lose their job.

Decentralized currency has come to deliver so much benefits to those countries that make cryptocurrency legalized. Since many countries had see the difference between decentralized currency and centralized currency during the falling of world economy few years ago. Technology has developed humanity to know more about decentralized currency and how to invest more on it and get more income in return. Those countries that acquired technology skills really achieved a lot from crypto trading by investing more money on cryptocurrency to earn more money in the future.
With the technology skills many citizens has acquired during lockdown, it will make the country not to experience such economy challenges in their communities.

It depends on the field in which you are moving, there are fields like medicine or law in which you need to have the certifications and the diploma otherwise you have no chance to get a job on the field, but when it comes to most jobs related to technology and things like that as long as you have the skills most of the time the diploma is not going to mean much as the employer is going to test your skills to see if you can work there, and if you have the diploma but you do not pass the test then they are not going to hire you.

I'm currently deepening my sales, photography, analyst and digital marketing/SEO skills. I am very positive with the payment I will receive when my skills are really above average and are sought after by many consumers. let each of us fight for our future.

I've told my sister if she wants to get involved with a high paying job, she should learn how to code that's related to blockchain. Any programming language that's related to it should pay well when she gets a job.

It's all about learning how to code and the PL that she'll use with it. And she can still go with her passion of editing and be in the video production. The list is actually good and suggests a lot of good skills that one can train.

I am very impressed with what you have done and I think what you are doing is also right.
multiplying and deepening skills is indeed very important, especially in today's digital era,
you really care about the future and that's a good thing

Even if you're currently working and making money and don't plan on going back to school in the future, that mindset is wrong because it's not just preparing you for the future, but it's a previllage that you'll be bringing and bringing with you until you're old. Those who haven't completed college, like myself, are being looked down upon by others because they havent finished college but they're already making money, which makes me think there's no need to go back to school. However, I really want to go back to school, but I don't have the time right now because we're in such a financial bind.

I already removed this mindset since I graduated college and when I started watching videos of Robert Kiyosaki.
If you still have that mentality at a young age, you will be the one who will suffer in the future. Finishing school nowadays isn't a requirement anymore if you want to get a job because there are many successful people right now that didn't finish their school.

One of the best things that I ever did in my life is that I'm doing what I love to do and at the same time, earning from it. Passion + Money combined. Maybe not all are experiencing what I'm doing but that is what I love to do. Most of the skills that OP has posted really is paying you high and at the same time, most of them don't really need to go out of your home because some of the jobs there can be done even you are at your house (work from home).

The skills you listed are skills for the future, and its Important to get some of this skill .but in my region acquiring some of this is very expensive,  getting  it some last not less than 2 years to learn. The best thing is if one can get a good online academy platform where one can acquire it very easily.

I definitely love the idea of getting on your own feet. This is because of the OP's first sentence, you cant just sustain forever on the job these days. The problem is with the world economy and its indexing of prices. It has outbursts after pandemic and things are now worst than ever before for the economy of world. Things are getting way costlier than they used to be couple years back. This sudden change can not be captured by our salary increment that is being offered by the employer. In fact employer themselves are behind the deduction of their employment to save some money for the company. 

Moreover, with the automisation of industries peeps are loosing the jobs at alarming rate. This could be another reason one should look after their own freelancing work or small businesses to start with. This can surely bloom in few years and has to be done alongside the real job.

So yeah plus one for this strategy.

Exactly future is unpredictable and investment plan will save us. Preparing for future means learn future skills and go with the flow? No, before start to learn any skill should consider your interest and passion because that's the future you can create, that's the opportunity you can build. We can't limit the future skills because future will be creat we can't say who can create it better. I am agree with the education system and qualifications but ancient education system should update in many countries and should introduce better learning pattern. In my opinion "updation" is the key, we can't stuck anywhere so we all should update our knowledge in every time.

Probably I agree with the author, because our world is really changing and in order to keep up with the times we need to adapt to new conditions. Of course, provided that you feel that it becomes difficult for you to live. And it all boils down to one thing, making money. At one time, I tried many different offline jobs and not a single job I worked on could give me the opportunity to improve my life and my family. It so happened that I realized this in time and began to be interested in new technologies, including blockchain and cryptocurrencies. And since 2017, thanks to my desire to make my life better, I began to earn more, which ultimately allowed me to get those things that I previously could not even dream of. So you need, as I wrote above, in step with the times and then there is a chance to make your life better.

My opinion on a teen who does not yet know what they want who has not yet discovered their own skills is to take a business course that can possibly help you in the future and later if you discovered what you love you can combine these two from your own loved skills and knowledge for yourself to create a better future. After all, a boss is the one who is business-minded and has the skill of what he or she loves to do.

Sometimes what you do in the future is not thought in schools and what I learn is that the school teaches us to become modern workers for society and not for ourselves. Iam not saying to finish college but it is to widen your thought and your ideal of what it is to be when you graduate, not knowing and preparing what to do is the most vital thing to be experienced.

creating what you love to do and does not care about the money is good but you must remember that we run in a society where there is money people spent and where you earn more that is the more you must save and invest...

Also, a fact that sometimes school does help the society of people, a system that is not yet to say better and improve in different years. Sadly from the 90's, there are people who need help in the family. to gain money and health.

The best advice is to just try everything till you figure out what you like right now; you need to discover yourself since you may not know what your passion is or what you truly enjoy. It can be difficult to adjust to what is the meta in any field because some people aren't actually capable of some things, or their capacity does not fulfill those requirements. The thing here is to be try hard in life, there's a lot of opportunities in life so let's do everything and learn more, increase our capacity, to make and prepare for our future.

To know the importance of change is indeed very good and the transition due to increasingly sophisticated technology must also be followed because indeed if we do not follow in that direction then we will indirectly be left behind.
on the other hand, to participate in the blockchain world, it is up to each individual to not have to force their will to do so because this is a choice.
but it would be better when we were there, as for if we don't want it then there's no need to force it to be in crypto because coming back again is an option but maybe don't regret it at the end if crypto gets greener

Well, I will say that the skills listed will be the most wanted skills in the future! I guess it's an advantage that all these skills are closely related to crypto, in many ways... so one can take the best from both worlds, the old traditional, and the crypto world!

But I guess any skill is a good skill if you are ready to master it over time, every skill has to be constantly developed and updated with new stuff around, you need to find the way and stay up to date! And having some skills is definitely an advantage, it's not just preparation for the future, it's what can bring food on your table today, and if you are good you will have for more than food!

Most of those mentioned skills are overlooked my youths in my rejoin, especially fitness coach was reading an article about a fitness coach that makes more than 200,000 dollars a year, and he is also at the same time keeping fit, although sometimes people lack the capital encouragement, to go for it, also I am excited about content creation I have been doing my follow up on it and maybe dropping a some videos on YouTube I hope to share in future.

We need to keep learning and of course it is to improve ourselves,
improving skills is also one of the important things and indeed all of that is not easy requires more patience and effort,
What is certain is that the future is in the hands of each of us, which means that we decide for ourselves

Arming yourself with knowledge is not the same as knowing how to do a certain job and being paid something like a regular wage. Sure, some jobs will become obsolete, but that's not such a big percentage as people think. Some jobs will become more important but that doesn't mean that other jobs will just disappear. At least not in a blink of an eye. But it's always good to broaden your horizons.

So, regarding this fact, what's your suggestion to us?
We all know if the future is in our hands but not many people know the right thing to do for preparing it.
If we look at OP's perception about preparing for the future is by learning high-paying skills. However, not all people have the ability for those high-paying skills. Do people not learning them, mean not preparing for the future well? I don't think so. As long as it is a good thing, it is always okay although not a high-paying skill. People choose something because he is interested and happy to do it. Cannot be forced to do something ideal, but has no intention to learn it.

Sometimes what we take as our course during college days, can't really apply to what we are doing now.

It's really good to upgrade our skills not only limited to one.

We have our own respective skills that we don't know we are capable of. We just need to find it.

Trading and coding really booming in my place, especially trading many people open new services or even companies about how to trade, how to get guaranteed gains in trading and many more. Also you can learn all of these from websites, many websites offering to learn for free we can utilise them for our future. It's take time but the outcome will be great  ;)   

Agreed, I must admit that i can relate on this because what i took in college is not my profession now lol.

I took Business administration but now I am in local government section in which not really related to my course  ;D

sometimes it is our destiny or what we really wanted that comes in the future and not what we took in early days.

my friend joining IT, now he is on company that not give IT job. we know everything, than when you are on table, you do something that you dont know. simple is when you learn A skill, this cant be your main weapon, because the realize will be different. you can learn new skill after join in company, and sadly, most people will do something like this.
learning many basic skill is great, but never regret if your many skill is useless.

From my point of view, I see my economic and career future in blockchain. The formalities of having a degree are being replaced with proving yourself and your abilities by doing.

I don't see a need for my formal university education (physics). Even though it does help a lot with logical thinking and the mathematics required for (good) coding (which I am currently trying to master). The age of our parents, where everything relied on the schools you went to or the degrees you gathered in order to impress potential bosses, is over. You can learn everything you need on the internet. We literally have free books and university courses on the web.

Many companies offer guaranteed profit guarantees, but we personally must remember that in trading is an opportunity approach. and the best thing in my opinion is to keep trading manually, so for that we have to learn from various sources so that we can trade comfortably, and in the end we can live from trading

Our job is to find the real companies that will be our place to invest in their project. If you can find that project, it will help you to make a profit in the future while you will see the project will grow from time to time. Trading can be a good way to make money but with terms and conditions that you should know before entering the market. I prefer doing manual trading because you can improve your skills better by learning many lessons.

 I have known many of my colleagues that is not working based on the course category that they have taken in college and they still manage to become contented and happy on what they are working now. I would also want to impart this relevant topic to myself because I do also not pursuing my chosen degree but I did was pursuing which one that makes me happy and that is knowing more about crypto and have a broad knowledge about financial aspects like trading and investment. There's a lot of new skills that we can learn through our own pace that the school didn't teach, and for me as soon as I graduated from the school is where I have started to figure out what I really wanted to be in life.

As the competition to get a job is so high for sure other professional will shift on the job which doesn't have any relation to the degree they finish since for many rejection on their job hunting for sure many will get desperate to find a job even if they are underpaid. That's why its good to explore and take those chances especially now we are on digital age where we can get more prospect jobs from multiple companies.

The sad thing about crypto is that when it first started, it was all about how great the coin was and then you invest into it based on how great it was or wasn't. However nowadays everyone is investing in the future of those projects based on development, that doesn't really make sense to me at all. I get that it is not something wrong as of right now since that is how everything works and that is why we are used to it.

But, that doesn't change the fact that it is a wrong approach. I personally would rather have a situation where whatever the release point was for a project was the end of that project. Maybe you get a bit of updates here and there, even bitcoin got taproot recently, but not huge strides in development. That is what new projects are here for.

If you invest into a project that doesn't have smart contract and hope that it will go up in price when it does have smart contract in the future, that is not decentralized currency and you are simply buying money of some project owner instead of USA governments fiat dollar, doesn't sound too appealing but I get that is how it works now.

It is always important to do any activity that throughout your life guarantees success and benefits, in this case it is good to do two or three things at the same time, if you are making benefits with BTC or cryptocurrencies it is something great, apart from if you can do one University career is an additional plus, preparation will always be something that can defend you in life, a degree will always be a reason for respect, although there are certain characters who never studied and are very successful at the moment, but they got in the face with the economy, With finances, with investments, they created jobs, that is, their training was deducted solely and exclusively for business, these people may currently be successful.

In the world of work this is commonplace but I think in the era of massive technological developments making work flexible,
no need to go to office to work and we can work from home,
Of course it all comes back to everyone's skill

I haven't been in an office for years and I can say that it didn't make me less efficient in anyway. It even gave me freedom to run errands whenever needed be. For example last days of October and early days of November has been horrible for my life, it was one of the worst periods of my entire life, and I needed to take care of some stuff and needed to be in some places, I do not want to give too much detail but it was bad.

This remote work thing allowed me to be a bit more free, I took my laptop everywhere, worked in unworkable conditions, I remember sitting in a corridor of a place while everyone walked over me and I still worked. Now you may think that was a bad situation and why would I praise that, but the reality is that I may have stuck in an office not being there for people who needed me, instead I ended up working even when I had that situation and allowed me to be with people I love.

Now I am 27 years old and i know bitcoin about 6 years ago when the price of 1 btc was around $240, at that time i bought and used it for cloud mining, gambling and HYIP and i lost a lot, if i hold on until now i can get out of the office and start business, for a better future I will buy and make bitcoin a long term investment.

It is very likely that most of the high-paying jobs now are on the internet. But somehow, it can be difficult to be employed those who have no IT skills or those who don't have any computer background. Now, that my kids are in school, I think I should have sent them to computer school for becoming more literate in computer programing as this will be a tool to get a better job and a brighter future.

I am somewhere close to you. Not in age but how I realized it and how I spent mine for useless stuff and lost most of it. However I have been doing fine thanks to this new increase. I am not saying that it has been a great situation, we all know that if we are not careful enough then we are going to lose it so I ended up investing with the drop during march 2020 and that has been my rock that I stand on. After that I did some good investments as well but never did as much profit in dollars as I did with that.

So, I would say that it is clear for me that even if we lost too much money we still learned a valuable lesson. We are still young, there is a long way until being retired and that means we could end up with something much better by the time our retirement age comes. I am hoping to have over half a million dollars saved when that day comes and it would mean a great retirement for me.

This is a principle that I held when I was in school, but what can a woman do if she is married, having children will end up as a housewife,
but I continue to try and learn how to earn money at home not far from the children and the house is okay,
until I was introduced by my friend this forum. I can earn from writing articles about crypto projects

Preparing for the future of course begins with a good education, many successful people start from poor people but they are very serious when they go to school, they understand that only education can make the future better, and I am currently still in college and will graduate in a year, I must excel and immediately seek work experience in large companies.

Sorry to say this but there are  people who havent finished up studies but still end up on having a good future because they do able to find ways oor careers which for them to end up on being more richer than to those who had finished college or studies but it isnt really that much considerable or tolerated because we know that education is always been best on securing at least our future and also we are that knowledgable on various things
and we know on how to handle out  ourselves.

This is a normal process. Humanity is developing and technologies are changing. Now we are moving to a level that can be conventionally called robotization of everything and everywhere. And yes, we must understand and ACCEPT that many specialties in the next 2-3 years may become simply unnecessary. These are not necessary at all! And people with such "unnecessary professions" had to start gaining new knowledge and skills as early as a couple of years ago, otherwise the likelihood of being out of work is extremely high. Yes, this is reality, a cruel reality, but this is progress - it cannot be stopped, at least naturally.

yeah, competitive make people do more and more. good job based on what passion we want, how much we love that thing. sometime, people get that passion after learning many skill, and the other already have one.
im not saying if learning skill is bad decision, because as time go by, people following what future do. and people must have skill as soon as possible before that future hit us

The future is always unpredictable, and there is no guarantee that smart people when they go to school their future is bright, I have a playmate in the village, he doesn't go to elementary school, can only read and count basic things, but he has a business with about 20 employees people, and all of its employees are better educated. I think the future can only be good if we are willing to work hard.

Many countries are seriously prepared against any  economy challenges that want to occur in the future. Some countries really regret about what covid-19 virus has caused to their economy and other activities in the country that make them to seen what those countries that adopted bitcoin in their country doing well despite the pandemic.
Those countries that adopted bitcoin will really see the great future in the country. It will eliminate unemployment from the country and improve their economy to another next level in the country. It will enrich the youths in the community and also improve their businesses in the country.

These days where I am from, students in school are being taught to learn other skills that may benefit after they have graduated from school. Unemployment has been an issue in the country, and you would see a lot of people who has graduated and end up doing nothing because they are unable to find jobs.

You’d see a lot of them even picking up jobs that you would least expect for a graduate who has spent years of studying to become a professional. So it’s very important that people have it in mind to keep learning different skills that are going to be helpful to them than just one, because just like the OP has said, things can change any moment.

This condition also occurs in my country. It is the government's responsibility to create jobs where they can attract many outside investors to invest in their country. This is definitely a solution for us and others because otherwise then I firmly believe a diploma may not be of much use when we don't have many other options for making money.

Bitcoin has innovations that help people produce something of value. They can learn things like mining, trade, and investment so they will not be too dependent on the government as long as there are no jobs available. So maybe you can try, especially bitcoin is no longer a strange thing among modern society today.

Having multiple skills is much more preferable or a must thing to have on which you do at least have the odds on getting other jobs aside or not  really that connected on what you had finished studies or certain course or degree which it would really be smart for you to do so if you  do have these things in mind and not just focusing on a single skill which you dont know that whether it would be having some demand after you graduated or havent or none because that would be  still leaves you as a
having no job in the end.

We can plan something good for the future, but we also must not forget that we must pray and hope that it will be achieved. I believe in God, and I wish the best for my life and future and whatever I plan just has to be supported with effort and consistency.

It's actually a sane thing when we can do a lot of other things without a regular job, and we have to have skills. I don't have to work for the government to make money, but without the right skills making money without a regular job will be very difficult.

Of course it's true, this is a requirement that anyone should have nowadays. A painter also had to be skilled in his field, so it would be very crazy if a graduate couldn't do anything for his life.

Ever since I was 7 years old, I knew that I would not become someone who did this. I knew that I wanted to do something a lot bigger, if I fail then so be it because I rather fail at doing something unique then have a mediocre life doing something boring.

My father worked in a company as a manager for 23 years, before that he worked 5 years as regular worker, few years as entry and few years at a bit higher, then 13 years as assistant manager and 10 years as manager and then he "retired" officially but kept working for another 5 years as "consultant" as well. That is his whole life story, he worked about 32 years total and then he actually retired, my parents moved to another city with seaside and great view and basically all around a good life.

All thanks to my father working 32 years, but he did absolutely nothing risky in his entire life. I rather be poor than be like my father. This is why I keep trying my hand at new projects and create a few of my own so far, I love my regular job, but at the side once a year or so I try something new, it just the way I am.

your friend does not go to school and certainly does not have a diploma to apply for a job at a large company, of course this situation forces your friend to become an entrepreneur because to become an entrepreneur does not require a diploma. sometimes we can become someone who is successful because of circumstances not because of our own desires.

Academic intelligence does not fully guarantee that person will be successful in the future, but what makes a person successful is how he is able to see business opportunities and how he uses these opportunities. What I know today is that most large companies no longer look at someone's abilities from the diploma they have but from their abilities and skills.

Basically success can come from anywhere but it all must also be accompanied by an effort and hard work,
Besides that, with the development of technology and digital, we can make money online from various platforms and of course adjust it to each other's skills

I read your story about your father's life story, it is an effort that parents make to provide for their family so you can have a better life today. Everything comes from the hard work of parents, but many of them want their child to do something different from what he has ever felt in his life.

Actually I also don't want to be like my parents in terms of work, I want to get a different experience from them and so far I'm just trying to do something for the target I have set. I like risky investments like crypto, this allows me to have a different experience from my parents. It is an honor for every parent to see their child succeed regardless of whether it is the result of investment or work in the real world.

right way to prepare for the future ,,, in the world i live in now i am not the only one who suffers many people who have no job finished college but no job to get i think they are having a hard time like me, the hardship of life now especially if you don't have  expected income so I prepared myself now for the future and tried it on bitcoin because I think it will help us without a personalized job and wherever the future takes me now I am ready to face the trials of life I am here to  dive into whatever experience I have here with a bitcoin crypto currency and head towards this bright future.

Most of the listed courses above are professions not just a skill and people earn up to doctorate degree in pursuit of those courses. But it can still be acquired outside the four walls of a learning environment which could be online majorly from most free academies that offer this courses free. The cycle of life is gradually changing and approach to problems is taking a new format, so acquiring a digital skills can actually come in handy

Do all sorts of things because not everything would be assured even you do end up on having a degree or simply not an assurance to have a better life but it does really give out that advantage if you do
have this thats why people would really thrive to finish up their degree despite of the current reality that we are facing now in terms of being jobless or doesnt really have some work.
This is why making ourselves way more better in terms of finances or status in life will really vary on the effort and dedication on finding other source.
Dont rely and just wait for some vacancy yet there are opportunities around which you could dive in.

Life is a struggle, and we must be able to enjoy it, education is very important, although sometimes our work is not in accordance with the educational pathway that we are traveled, but at essence while we are young must have several sources of income, and do not be fixated on one source, so financially we will be healthier

With us having financial freedom it makes our lives also more comfortable,
Of course to achieve this requires effort and hard work,
what is clear is that nothing is instant, everything needs a process so just enjoy it

How I can prepare for the future if I do not know what will happen to me tomorrow. Actually, in my observation, we should make our present life and future is the mirror of our present life. If you have done the right thing today your future will be shiny and amazing. So building your today is basically building your tomorrow.

The list you provided is highly demandable today also and I am also kind of love to have coding skills. I do try for quite some time but for the lack of proper guidance, I am still learning how to code. It's not that easy as many think it is.

You can't be financially free if you don't have any skills unless you're one of inheritor of your parents or any relative that's rich enough. But you're also likely to be uneducated financially if you didn't earn your money the hard way.

Choose any of those skills or as many as you can. Being knowledgeable in many of those or even a single one to focus with will bring you fortune.

You are misleading yourself. Ofcourse the your present is your preparation to the future. No one know what will be the future but you can set a path on it based on what you desire. You're correct that the current action defines your future but that doesn't you shouldn't set a goal for future and depends only what you can see. It's like being blind and just following to the flow if you follow your principle.

I believe it is all linked because you are setting goals in preparation for the future, which means you are preparing for the future. Nobody can predict the future, but if you want to be a better version of yourself in the future, learn something! Also, live life to the fullest. Well, life is really choosing a path and doing the right thing, it is not that smooth, yes you have goals and want to be your future amazing, but before that you will go through struggles and want to give up. It's just trials and tribulations to make you stronger as you work toward your goal.

Your future would really depends on what are the things you had been doing on this present time and we know that each of us does have particular goals and wishes in life.

thats why it is really just sensible to make out actions according into things that you are anticipating to happen although no one could really tell on what would be the

future looks like or something like that.Just be sure that you would really be putting efforts for you to achieve on what you do have in mind.

Now that bitcoin and other altcoins are preparing to increase in the exchange market which many customers have been waiting for in the community. Many customers are still buying bitcoin and other altcoins because of the research most of them carry out to know that this season will be great for all cryptocurrencies users in the community.
I am waiting for my manager to pay me salary so that I will buy bitcoin and other altcoins that has future. I will not miss this opportunity this year because I missed this opportunity last year december because I spend all my money on celebration before the price of bitcoin was try to improve in the market.

It's better if you finish school and get a job and also learn or upgrade your set of skills. If you can't get a job once finished school then you can apply online like applying on a casino that needs a staff for a certain job like UI design. If you are in my country, most of the skillsnin your list won't be useful. Even if you have one of the skills in your list but it would still be hard to get a job or get accepted without a degree unless the company preferred anonymous staffs where they only need your skills.

It will always be considered a wealth if you can go to school and end up as a degree holder because bigger opportunities await for you so you can land a high paying job. Of course, with a college certificate and speciall skills, many employers will look for you knowing you'll be one of their assets. As long as you have the potentials to help grow the company, then you'll be given a high paying position. The problem is you have certain skills, but definitely a non degree holder. In my country, it will still be hard to get a job considering you're not even eligible.

Nothing is instant indeed but there are people who are really that impatient on which they do things on a rush way which do results into mistakes because they do make out some careless move which shouldnt be right because it would be normal that you should really be that mindful
on every step you to make and it d0es require sufficient knowledge and good analysis on every situation and not just on doing something
where you dont make out some proper planning and of course you do need to mind off on how things should be done.

One thing that I really want to change the mindset of most of my families is about after graduating from college, a Government job or civil servant is the best job with high honor.
I really don't like this condition.
What I want to try to change and prepare for the future is that I will prepare my children to have better future, as they want.
I know that everyone will always think the best for others, but they may not understand what the best for them as they want exactly.
actually, the way we are following up the era, technology, and also life in the new world will be always changing. But once to remember is about being great in every new era, not always to become certain worker in certain field in order to get high honor.

I think that any IT related or even remotely related to IT would be booming. Anything related to automation too would be in demand with all of this talk about making robots serve us, engineering will be another one and will always be booming as long as civilizations exist.

We really don't know what will happen in the future. but in this context I don't think it's asking something that will happen, but what you want to do in the future. For example, what kind of life we want in old age.
In principle, everyone must have a goal or desire, and that goal must be prepared in order to achieve it.

Basically everyone wants to have a good future and as expected,
but not everyone can fulfill what they expect in the future because after all to prepare for the future we need to try and work hard,
It's clear that everyone has their own way

Its more on a positive mindset that we get to think how to motivate us to go on forward. If we chose to prepare for the future, hardwork and perseverance is highly needed. And be able to enhance our talent and skills to be usable and profitable in the future. However, if we chose the other way, then don't expect that same results will happen in the end.

The future requires a lot of knowledge so that you can get ahead, the more things you know the better you will be, both to find work and to be able to survive, always a person who has studied has knowledge and that knowledge is what is needed to be able to emerge and above all survive, in an eventual crisis, only those who know how to do a difficult job will survive, something that not everyone can do, because an easy job anyone does, but a specialized job not everyone does. In any case, what you have to do is not close your possibilities, do not let the doors close, for a professional there are no closed doors, a professional will always take advantage of their knowledge to get ahead.

Always trying to learn the latest update in our field will help and for the people who want to switch over to new verticals, it might be a complete challenging task because first they need to learn the basics and then need to be fully aware of latest development in the new domain. But, when we are sticking with same domain and then keep learning then the possibilities for our growth must be unlimited.

After bitcoin, I stopped thinking about switching over to new developments but showed all my interest on learning bitcoin trading. Now, I am able to trade bitcoin profitably in short term which is helping me stay competitive and based on my saving I might start a small bitcoin based business for my local people.

Preparing for the future is a good thing most especially if you plan to have a better life - a comfortable and peaceful life wherein all your needs and most of your wants will be addressed without having to exert so much effort because you managed to ready the things you need for retirement. Earning in every way possible such as engaging in the industry full time, being freelancer as side hustle, and having different investment vehicles to keep your money flowing in are good things to do. We have different passion, skills, and abilities, hence what could work for some might not work for others. So if you already found the thing that keeps you motivated, inspired, and gives you earning enough to sustain your necessities and luxuries, then you are taking the right path. You don't have to become an investor or entrepreneur if that isn't really your thing. So instead of trying what doesn't suit you, try those things that could really fuel the fire in you while earning at the same time. After all, it's the passion that keeps us going and not just the money alone.

Saving for the future is a nice thing that your future self and family (if you want to have one of your own) will thank you for. Remember, nothing is ever certain. There could be emergencies in the future that needs funding or so in which you can't totally provide in rush especially if the money we are talking about is huge. So it's really beneficial if you are prepared for the future. Assurance that you will have a better life and not a hard one is one of the greatest things you could ever gift your future self with. But of course, while preparing you must still savor the fruit of your labor. Just know and learn to distinguish between spoiling yourself too much and rewarding yourself for a job well done. Take note, you can enjoy today without robbing and sacrificing your future. Think and plan ahead. Secure your future.

this is indeed very good because even if we persist in the development of bitcoin it does not make us lose even the opposite, on the other hand, precisely by studying all forms of development there we can upgrade our abilities to a better direction there. bitcoin is something complex and actually with more advanced development technology it actually makes bitcoin better

If you are really tending to be that versatile when it comes to skills then this is something needed to be done even though its not really forcing you to do so but nothing beats out on someone who do have multiple
skills or knowledge specially in online tech or something correlated to this.

Yeah, it might not be easy or could be known on a short time as possible but nothing would happen if you wont really make such step thats why its up to yours if on how you
would gonna handle up yourself.

You are the one who do build your future which it is understandable that you should really put up some effort.

Preparing for the future is the same as thinking for the long term.
many things are definitely needed to prepare for the future,
so planning must also be made carefully

Of course, if you are no good in planning, then you will never achieve your goal in the future.

However, preparing for the future still means to me that you should still get a quality education and continue honing your talents and skills because that will serve as your assets in applying for a job. If you are born with multiple skills, that will be a great advantage. And it will be a lot better if you engage in digital assets and skills because that will be in great demand even in the future.

Of course, everyone needs to prepare for the future, because with today's developments, earning from one job is not enough. If you work and your income is spent having fun, you may not be able to prepare for the future.
preparing for the future is certainly not easy, there are many things you have to go through, for that you need to make plans and change your mindset. You must be confident that you can compete in the future.
to increase your income I have suggestions for additional work, namely: Trading, Content Creator, Facebook Ads, Blogger, Adsense, and many more.

I will highlight:
blockchain, programming, cybersecurity, dietetics. As for me, these are really not only demanded areas, but also those where there will always be a shortage of specialists. No, I am not talking about mass "pseudo specialists", I am talking about specialists of the middle and higher level, with real knowledge, experience, understanding of processes, problems. The rest of the above - perhaps there will be demand, I argue, but the above - will be guaranteed to be in demand.

PS. Yes, and - learn languages - both benefit and dementia will postpone for many years :)

You make some good points about jobs that will do well in future and anyone younger should be taking note - although trade skills like electrician / plumber are also skilled jobs that will be around for a while longer and pay very well in the modern world. Honestly, it is possible to succeed when on an average wage if you learn as much as possible about finances. If you are able to put away a consistent and reasonable amount into a diversified global index accumulation fund starting in your early twenties, you can have a very comfortable retirement that doesn't rely on any state handouts. They might teach basic skills in school, but this is one field you should read up on and learn as much about as possible.

I think that OP meant that preparing for the future encompasses all the conventional method of education (e.g. finishing and getting a degree, etc.) as the future focuses more on the niche aspect of skills. Like what is being mentioned, learning about the blockchain and its technicalities may be the key into earning more potentially due to its popular demand from its users.

Just like cryptocurrencies, this subject has been steadily growing over the years. The more people who get curious and enter this market, the more demand and skill would be needed- thus the potential of earning more streams of income is greater.

You are right, changes can sometimes collide with our way of thinking and make us often distrust what we will learn later, we can also affirm that when we learn something new and it helps us to move forward in life, we must take it for our benefit. In my particular case, I have always given the go-ahead to BTC and I have always defended any position even against some entrepreneurs who are investors, entrepreneurs in the fabric, shoe, and jeans industries who have a wrong concept about BTC, who do not They know the movements of the stock market and much less the movements of trading in BTC, this knowledge has helped me a lot to understand many world economic schemes.

indeed planning is the first thing to do but the more important thing to do is action, because what! Because planning without action is just an expectation.
Everyone is able to plan, even if the plan is well structured, but when you can't take action, planning will only be a waste of time and will only be a waste of time.
So to sustain the future is to multiply the actions and correct any mistakes for the future you want. Be principled Even if you fail today there is still tomorrow to try again and not make the same mistakes.
Remember alpha edison failed approximately 999 times, and every time he failed he found something to correct his mistakes without repeating the same mistakes, and in the end he was able to light the world for his persistence.
My advice is to act from now on and don't die from one hit, because it's useless if you just plan without taking action and you give up easily.

That's right, don't spend our current income just for fun. Because no one can guarantee our future except ourselves.
Have fun naturally, yes everyone will want to enjoy the results obtained now. But we must have financial management, how much % is for vacation, how much % is for investment. It's all done not for other people, but it's all for the good of our future.

Due to the pandemic and crisis facing the world today, most of the jobs in various industries have no choice but to obey the government and close down due to losses of entrepreneurs and unemployment of many people.

But because people are now strategic, the pandemic will not be able to stop the development of people's knowledge to learn new skills and wisdom. So most studied and entered the computer world to find dignified work.

That is why computer-related and social media courses have become in-demand nowadays and the jobs related to it. The world is in a new generation now and very soon in the future, which is also the reason why people are entering the crypto world as well. Many people are interested in investing in various cryptocurrencies to grow their hard-earned money. The pandemic has also been the reason for expanding people's knowledge and preparing and strengthening us for the near future.

You would really expect that people would dive in into ventures which would  really be helpful for them to sustain at least on this pandemic situation specially if they had lost their jobs.

things are going back to normal gradually despite of the new variant arises.We cant really deny that this pandemic situation did really give out big impact on someones lives
specially on their income and the worst we had lost our jobs.

If you are really that persevere on making your future a lot better then you would really be mindful about doing this.

Well, if you trade in the short term with BTC and you get good profits, it is the best that can be achieved, that is always sought and I am very happy that you have been able to reach that level, of course operating with BTC will always be better than with any altcoin, of course. In fact, it is much safer with BTC because it already has a history where it has gone through several market cycles, accumulation stages, bullish trend, bearish trend, Distribution stage, among others, knowing all that and operating in the short term is a success total.

The future is always unpredictable, when we think the future will be good because we work or do business but because of the unexpected impact then the plan often fails, to improve the future the best thing is to invest, plan investment even with a small budget every month and this will make our future better.

The truth is that alternative careers to the traditional ones are not something new, the rare jobs that generate money have always been there, by the way you do not name any of them, in fact your list is very poor and far from the new times, in the actually, I could name several but maybe just telling you that dedicating yourself to being an influencers leaves a lot of money.

I remember that I read an article when I was in my 16 years in the twentieth century and the two careers with the best future were a degree in accounting and the other related to computer science, obviously the Internet is there to prove to be something great, but accounting continues there in force, highly sought after and with good pay, with this I want to tell you that there are careers that, regardless of the time that passes, will always be in force.

Any of your list can be an update or a specialization added to any of the known careers. Without a doubt must be reformed in its pensums and even in its infrastructure, but regardless of this the traditional academic training must be present as a personal challenge that we should always be achieving and seeking. Although it is sad to think that there are countries that do not offer good opportunities and a five-year career does not lead to anything, but fortunately it is not the average of all countries.

I often hear things like you have stated "Upgrade your mindset and break free from the old mentality of "Finish School, Get a Job, and work yourself for a paycheck to retirement" but I have to say I do not understand what else you can do.  I get what people are getting at, try and think outside the box etc etc..but this is the reality of life.  If you think that people need to break that mold that's fine, but what do you suggest?

You are right in what you say, for me the key to everything is effort, if we try harder it is natural that we have better results, and that each thing earned with effort is more valued, in fact when we earn our money working hard it is incredible because it yields much more, when money is earned in a simple way without much effort, the money tends to not yield and is not enough to cover some of the needs, and this is synonymous with the fact that we must always work our luck accompanied by knowledge and I believe that here It is the beginning of all success without going over the top.

All matters with effort and i agree with having that luck accompanied because there are things in life that no matter how hard you do try but you do still fail on achieving those goals you do have in mind.
Your future determines on what you have done in the past and if you are someone who dont put up much effort on building your future then expect that you wont really be having a good future ahead.
You would still get stuck into those 8-5 job and earning which is only sufficient on daily living and you are only good on that level not compared into those people who had
really be aiming on having that freedom in terms of financial then this is where they do something more.

Yes, a big lesson was learned from this pandemic. Jobs won't last a lifetime, businesses are the same and the same as with our health.

A very unpredictable thing just happened into this world and too many were laid offs, closed businesses, and the health of everyone is at stake and we all didn't expect this to come.

That's why it is important to always be flexible with the situation so that you can survive no matter what happens. You're able to cope up with what's happening in the world and also expect crises to come.

Yes the future is a mystery no one knows what the future will be like,
saving or investing to prepare for the future is a good thing and not everyone is aware of it,
Investment must also be thought out carefully so it's not an easy thing either

the main purpose of investing is to increase the assets we have in the future, this is the main reason why we must look for potential investment objects in the future. If you choose the wrong investment object the assets you invest in will not increase, it can even decrease. before investing in the real world or in the digital world, you still have to do research first to avoid something we don't want because all investments have different risks.

Saving is a good option, although in the world in which we are living I think that money could be worked instead of saving it, because money generates money, if we invest in the correct option, for example BTC, Real Estate, Gold, we always it will give some result, if we put our money in a bank to save it it is very likely that it will lose value, we do not know what will happen in the near future, perhaps a collapse of the global economy would leave us without money value to exchange for Goods and Services, However, in some books what they recommend the most is to diversify, so the money will not be working on a single thing, therefore if it is possible to diversify, the option of saving in a bank is also an option that can be taken, but it is not the priority.

Perseverance and consistency in what they do, is one of the factors that make them successful. Besides, they really do do something they love even if they are talented in their field.
I agree with you, when what they are doing stabilizes, they will try and find something to start over again.

Anything that has something to do with technology will be an in demand no matter where you go, you're only limited with where you're from and how is the labor laws and wages in your place. I think a proper preparation for the future is like the best thing that you can do as a person that wants to lead a fulfilled life especially with a capitalistic society, it's going to be a difficult life if you're poor.

In my personal opinion, it should be like that, we should like whatever we do. Sooner or later something we do sincerely will benefit us.
I have a principle, in the business world, do not always pursue profit. But first love the work we do, then your work will pay off for you.
Maybe there are different views with me, but that's what I've been doing some time back until now.

Sometimes it works like that and sometimes it doesn't, depending on the individual,
but indeed if we have thought of pursuing profit then usually we only want instant things,
love work first seems to be more effective

Yes you are right, because in fact it is. It is not easy to do all that, there must be a big sacrifice. On the other hand we also have to meet our needs when doing all that.
From my experience, we just need to get used to it, so that the work we do does not become burdensome. But how when we don't do that in our daily life, we feel something is missing.

If I had a great job right now, of course I would learn about those skills. Trading is one option that I think is promising, because now there are many tools that we can use for profitable trading, for example now I'm trying to trade using "ichimoku kinko hyo" on gold and oil commodities at one broker with risk 3:1.

Nothing is easy in life so lets all get used to it, let's get used being uncomfortable either in working in our current job or if it is learning on something because in the end we can get a benefit with that. Let's just trust the process.

You are also right that it would be better if we have a natural passion on what we are doing so that we do not feel like we are working. It is not only about the profession or if what course have we finished but skills do matter too. I know someone that are successful now in life even if he did not finished his studies while someone that finished his studies are still working in a low paying job or do not have a job at all till now.

You would needed to get out on your comfort zone for you to face up those things which might really be helpful on giving up you a better future.If you dont have this kind of mindset and stay up

permanently on where you are currently but doesnt give out that kind of upgrade or have a better future lies ahead even though everything isnt assured but once you are doing pretty well

in terms of income then you can somewhat assure that you are really prepared and have better advantage compared to others which hadnt done something.

Well, having a good education is very important if you were planning to work and gain a higher position, and it makes your family and kids proud. And besides, this is now a sort of living and guarantee that we can find a job in the future. Having extraordinary skills is a huge advantage over the others and getting into the demand will give you the higher priority to pick out from the number of candidates.

So, before taking a course in college, we've better think and anticipate the future demands, not just of today.

I agree that those in the list does seem like they are going to be on more in demand in the coming years. I myself has contemplated whether I should learn to code but can't decide on which language to pick. I think the take away here is that jobs are becoming scarcer and more unreliable these days that freelancing could become the norm. Many industries prefer this set up now rather than having in-house talents.

I switched to freelancing a long time ago, as well as profitable investments in cryptocurrency assets. Of course I invest primarily in the most valuable assets that are leading the market, but also consider good enough projects that are starting to develop. First of all, $CRAT can be cited as an example, which allows developing a new concept of interaction between the brand and the end consumer. this is no longer just an idea, because today this business principle is being introduced into Big Business.

Degrees and skills are two important things, but not always these two things can determine someone to get a decent job, nowadays many companies or governments require someone to have a degree to get a job, but sometimes many of them do not have the skills, and vice versa, there are those who have skills but don't have degrees so it is very difficult for them to get jobs in companies and government and force them to work creatively, but I think nowadays people who have more skills can produce extraordinary wealth ordinary and even they can actually stand alone with these skills all this time.
I strongly believe that in the future people who have the skills will be more likely to succeed than those who have degrees but have few skills.

It I'd good to have skills and it is also good to have professional education. It is even better to have both of them, if one fail the other one will work.
Nobody can predict the future very well. In the future the skill may fade off and in the future profession may fade up too.
The best thing to do is to always update yourself.

If we really want to have a good career at work and can easily work in big companies. Good education is the most important, other than that,
by completing education well, we can make our parents happy who have sacrificed to pay for our education. It is true that having a high education
does not guarantee 100% that we will become successful people. But at least it gives us a greater chance of being successful than people who
don't continue their education until they graduate from college. Because when we apply for a job to a company, usually people who have higher
education are prioritized. So don't be lazy to finish our education well, it will provide benefits for our future. There are indeed some rich people
who managed to become successful without completing their college, but the percentage is not much. So don't because we see that people can
become rich without completing their studies, meaning education is not important. In my opinion, such a mindset is wrong, because we may
not necessarily be like them. And it's also possible that the person has privileges that we don't know about, so without finishing college they
can be successful.

Degree and skills are both has its own importance.. But in my own opinion, skills actually matters.

A person who have much skills doesnt need any degree to succeed but having a degree without skills and lazy is useless. In real life,in order for us to survive we need to be skilled.Just like in business,yes you acquire a lot of information and knowledge but if you dont applied it and dont take any action, you cant make any money.In short, You are just wasting your time.

Yes, if you choose between degrees or skills, of course skills are the main choice,
honestly both are as important as you said but if we look broadly skills are needed by someone,
Obviously, everyone has their own point of view

Very practical and it's true, there are people in real life manage to survive and make his way to have a luxurious life even without a degree.

While a lot of people who graduated and have a respective degree continue to suffer, all ends with how you will drive your own way.

People who are unstoppable in widening their ways to find success are mostly using their skills. They do offer every edge that they've got

in order to manifest good outcomes.

Yeah, expect a lot more techy and creative roles to be remunerated well in comparison to professional services.

A lot of people who initially wanted to go into investment banking or private equity are redirecting their intelligence to learning computer science, which is definitely a good bet.

But I do think that an understanding of economics and finance will be crucial as well. The future of innovation in tech will be with Fintech.

Well you have a point there --preparing for the future is something that we must think of but there is no need to quit studying to deal with getting a job if you still can afford to school. If you are currently studying with your chosen course to aim something in the future then pursue it, because education is something that nobody can take away from us and nowadays, you can really concur schooling and working with your own choice. But yes, --there is a lot of circumstances that push people to pursue getting a job rather than going to school for some reasons, and that is when we probably think of education as second from our priorities which can't be blamed. But truly saying, education is one of the bridges that prepares us and the gate that opens us to our good future.
However, do you believe bitcoin is a part of a good asset that can be store for the future and have a better future?

This has a point because it does not imply that just because you have a degree that you are an expert in everything. The vast majority of the people I know do not have a degree; even CEOs in businesses often do not have degrees at the outset of their careers despite the fact that they are successful and possess excellent skills. I do not have a degree myself, but I believe I possess excellent skills when compared to my classmates who do have degrees because I am more knowledgeable in our field. Now, the degree that matters to me is the position in a company that requires a candidate to have a degree, but in our field, skills are the most important thing to have.

Good for you that you're doing well. I haven't have much disposable income to invest.

Actually had to lookup the SCRAT you mentioned and do multiple searches. They really should have picked a better name. Are you referring to scratcoin or scratchcoin? Both seem to use SCR ticker.

Most of the related Information technology is one of the trends right now but we cannot neglect those trends now which is the blockchain and more related to cryptocurrency. With the trend of the NFT for sure, it's time for the people who are in the digital art world they can sell their assets now, with the combination of game developing and marketing for sure they can possibly sell an NFT. This is the reason why we need to explore more skills and knowledge can be use in the future.

Agree about the techy and creative part. Every jobs in the online world almost need this two. We need to be creative when we design a graphics that will be used for promotion. We need to be creative when we write articles. We need to be techy in the coding stuffs.

All of that jobs can still be considered as professional because they are not easy to do and not only professional just because the one that are doing the job are graduate of any (professional) course. shifting courses is not bad as long as they have an idea on how the course they choose work. Not just you switch course just because the course is in demand, that is useless because you are not be able to do it anyway.

Just go with the flow and be wise in regarding with your decisions.If you do saw that Information technology or Programming skills would really be that relevant then you wouldnt waste up your time

on learning it but there are things which arent that meant for you to deal off with and speaking with time then this isnt something that you could acquire on a very short span of time.

Your future would really be depending on how you do handle up yourself on various things and on how you to carefully made out decisions.

According to me,degree and skills are both important to succeed in the race of life.Both help us to grow financially and personally.However, skills contributes a major role achievement in our life. Degree can help us to get a good job with a higher salary, but it cannot help us to grow further without skills.There are many people out there who became successful because of their skills,even if they dont have any degree. Just like Manny Pacquiao.He doesnt have any degree,but he have the skills that make him rich.There is no point of having a degree if you dont you use your skills.

I agree with what you said, because our future depends on every step and decision we take right now, that's why we need hard work in achieving a better future than now, besides that learning a lot and never giving up is one of the main conditions for us to be able to get a better life in future.

at least we have to have a vision for what the future we want to be like and from if we don't have it then we have to make plans from now on.
because indeed when we want to live better we have to think about what steps we have to take so that we have a benchmark with the goal of living a better life there.
hard work determines this and indeed with the goals to be achieved will make our lives more directed and controlled

What's the good thing about is that many young generation today have been inspired to get that brighter and better future ahead of them with a vision that cryptocurrency would be a great tool for them to achieve it. Indeed, everyone wants a comfortable and better life and that's the reason why we are keep on thriving hard in life to achieve this ultimate goal. Financial freedom and having an investments that would give a streamline income to us.

^ In my own, yes, a lot of graduates became jobless and have not been given an opportunity to apply in a job related to the course they have graduated. This is the common incidences that change the mindset of a lot of people to find a high-paying skill job instead of going to school because it is being instilled in their minds, after schooling you cannot still work with your course and become jobless. It is very an advantageous thing to some but not for everyone. We must learn that education is still important because we do not know what kind of life awaits us in the future, education plays a big role in preparing our better future. Being jobless when finished study, requires courage and hard work. But if you're still jobless and did nothing, that was already your choice.

Having education is a good foundation that you could only have even though this bitter reality would really be putting us on a condition on which we dont really have any choice but to deal with it.

If you dont find ways then you would really be having problem in terms of finances or simply talks on sustaining or surviving yourself specially on this pandemic situation.

You are the ones who do really make your future and if you dont do something then you couldnt really able to survive this one.

With the development of technology, it means that the competition is getting higher and we are all forced to master many skills today.  Even art owners can't just make art, they must have other skills that are marketing their work, because there are also many artists whose works are not in demand at opsensea because their marketing is not good.

A lot good number of people want to work on meaningful  subjects, but bloody capitalism has killed the soul of work we get to see that everything is just plain buisness and profit making.
A researcher is paid meagerly for contributing through science but a CEO is paid highly for deriving profit out of invention of researcher, so smart young people want to be CEO not researcher..
I guess we need to recalibrate our priorities as a society so that people start taking meaningfull stuff as their priority rather than just working to earn

We will need to recalibrate our priorities right after that to be able to decide who is worthy to eat and who will have to starve to death. Capitalism created all you see. From capitalism we have smartphones, computers and the Internet, thanks to which you can write out this rubbish. We also have advanced agricultural machinery that free 70% of population from working in food production to enable them to do a "meaningful  subjects". Also one of the most innovative places (crypto) is 100% capitalism. Proof of work is based on money, proof of stake is based on money, there is no socialism in crypto.

Capitalism created the whole modern world we have now together with working places for everyone who wants to work ... as an option ... not obligation ... in contrast to communism, in which the obligation to work in the assigned place is not unusual. Capitalism gives you place to work. Its up to you what you want to do with your life.

This is a good advice for me, it is good to try out many things, in the process of trying out many things you will see the one you are passionate about and then you will continue with that particular one. This is just because if you don't have a passion for anything you are learning or practicing you will end it up prematurely. There is alot of opportunities in this life, it is left for us to choose the good one we like and have passion for.

This is indeed quite good because from an early age they were aware of the importance of the future, but this must also be accompanied by supervision from more mature people so that these generations do not make mistakes in their actions.
the existence of crypto can indeed make them more aware of something that is good enough for the future and not a few children today can be in it. There have been many examples of them, one of which is Benjamin, who has now made quite a fortune with the NFT Weird Whales he created. Besides that, there are lots of teenagers out there who really like crypto and can be used as a reference in this regard.
But again, parental supervision is important so that their preferences here don't have a negative impact later

I am very disappointed with the current state of our society. One of the thoughts of everyone is ""Somehow after finishing the educational life and getting a good job, life is set"".

Everyone on the surface of this old thought. Are they gaining any knowledge at all? Not doing. 
Actually, these thoughts come from parents. In our society, our own will is not valued. Nobody asks me what I want to be or what I like about my work. Why should everyone be a doctor, engineer, banker?  When will we get out of this old thought?

Each of us should be interested in co-curricular activities. In addition to academic education, one should also bring out one's inner latent talent.
I've seen some extraordinary students who are capable to break the security and hacking govt website, they have extraordinary tech knowledge, but they are not getting appropriate opportunities to apply that.

I am not saying that there is no future for academic education and formal employment. The future is certainly there but technology is improving day by day. Our society is being enlightened in the light of science. And in this world of technology relying solely on academic education would be utter nonsense.

In the hope of getting a dream job, one should not only memorize the reading of the book but also give time to acquire the surrounding knowledge. Time should be given to different skill development. Which the future can give us the gift of a better life.

It isnt always just in talks about on how to make money but also in real use case basis on which you would really be seeing its actual relevance when it comes to application on real life  situations.
Making money or profit is just the second thing that you could benefit out from crypto but majority is really putting emphasis or focus on this area which i couldnt really blame them off.
Speaking of preparing yourself for the future neither on your sons and daughters then we would do all the best of us on dealing on the current trends that we are
seeing which could really give out those kind of chances.

When it comes to preparing for the future, the best things is to always update yourself with future skills. It is very difficult to predict the future. But one thing that the future does is that it does not take anyone unaware. It does just happen overnight. It happens gradually every year.
So for someone to beat the future he needs to be innovative and be updating himself with the future.

Your opinion is very good but sadly our society does not want to accept it. We are not even asked what we want to do in the future. Believing this in our minds, we grow up that after completing education get a job, and life is set. Even if someone has a latent talent, it is not valued. Just push to finish the job early to get a job.

Look, if you have a younger brother and if he told your parents that he wanna be a Blockchain expert, or he wants to work with Facebook company, how do your parents take it?
Most of the people are like to think simple, they don't like to think complex. just study-job-marry-give birth-die, we have to break this cycle to make the world a good place for our childrean.

With the development of the times, especially in the digital era like now, development really moves quickly and if we don't adjust, we will lose and regret,
we won't know what the future will be like so it's very important to prepare,
keep learning and don't get bored just enjoy the process

Makes sense.
And what do you suggest specifically when you say to try to fit in anywhere?
Because in my point of view, I think learning cryptocurrency perfectly fits your narrative.
Crypto is an opportunity to gain in a short and long term period. It can be done anywhere, any country, anytime.
Preparing for the future is a broad discussion, as much as possible we want to be specific in what kind of strategy we suggest to our fellow community members.
If you're working 8 hrs or more every day and you think you suck at business or don't have the skills of a high paying job, then holding Bitcoin would be a perfect early retirement plan.

We must be willing to adapt to the developments that are happening now in the world, where the development of technology is now very rapid.
Almost all human activities are done digitally, therefore we should not be lazy to learn to improve our abilities. So that we can adapt to
the current developments, otherwise we will have difficulty living our lives or our economy will not improve. Don't let us regret later,
because we don't want to keep up with technological advances. Now it is easier to make money and find work if we are familiar with
the online world. The internet gives us many opportunities to be able to change our lives for the better, so don't be lazy to learn the latest trends
that are emerging in the online world.

The disappointing thing when people who are planning for the future with their Crypto portfolios are sayings like why study up to university if you end up becoming crypto traders.  although this statement is very wrong.  How many people are successful from trading both in terms of stocks and other assets.  Conditions like this also break the mentality of beginner traders, who basically need the support and support of many parties.

Lots of alternative actually or options you could take because not everything that we do tend to engage would end up according to plans thats why people would normally seek out ways on which one would work neither they would be sticking out with traditional aspects or would solely focus their mind into crypto dealing..As long you do have some goals in mind then it wouldnt matter
on which one you would be putting your interest in as long you could benefit out and able to build yourself a good future then that what matter most.

It's true that in business there will always be unexpected risks and failures, most people will be stressed if the business they rely on turns down and goes bankrupt.
In my opinion, doing business must be accompanied by investment so that one day if you experience a loss it will not hurt too much because let's just say that the investment we make is the profit of our business.

The op made alot of sense, but I will like him to think of this the other way round, all the high paying skills which he mentioned requires a good Level of education somehow, an uneducated person can't even operate a computer talk more of learning a skill that requires one to sit before a computer all day, so this clearly means that good education is the foundation of every success in life(this is after God), good education is a first key we need, education is an enlightener, without education, one would hardly know that the skills the op mentioned here even exist.
I personally have many uneducated friends who don't even know what bitcoin and cryptocurrencies are till today, and me trying to explain to them always seems like pouring water on a rock expecting it to sock, and this means they never understand, no matter how I try to explain it.

Many people do that, of course, remembering that in business it is not an easy thing to stay on top,
that is indeed the importance of preparing everything and it must be thought of in advance,
It is clear that business and risk are interrelated with each other

Yes, trying your best to identify how your future will look like by introducing many skills that will help you not to miss your bright future.  Many people have embark on decentralized currency investment and they are doing well in the community and also impacting people about bitcoin. Those people that works hard to learned bitcoin from their facilitators has achieved a great skill that will make them not to experience poverty in the community. Now that the price of bitcoin has decreased in the exchange market, it will be profitable to buy more of bitcoin and wait for the market price to improve and sell to make a passive income.

You are the ones who would make out your own future.If you do put up less effort then expect that it wouldnt be that great but if you do put effort and succeed and you do
have lots of sources when it comes to income then you could really be having a decent life which you could ask for.All of us do hope for the same thing thats why
we do strive and do really tend to do all sorts of ways for us to have some good life which we could give out in our loved ones and future generation you do have.

  Yeah, it's good to be prepared for the future so that we can be able to face the reality in life. Some people emphasize and utilize their skills even they don't have a degree but they are still willing to learn for the sake to earn and they are the people who are not able to go to school due to insufficient money but still alive because of their hard work. Some moderate people who've finished their study or they had a degree but their problem that they could not find directly on their inclined skills cause they made a wrong choice of decisions.

  Think twice or a million times on your decision so you could get the good result.

If those kinds of things are boring you and you have good spare of money to use, buying and holding bitcoin may help you or lead

you to the point that you'll be able to enjoy your life financially free, but it's always better to understand the nature of this investment

many failed or lose their money because of lacking of knowledge, instead of planning for the future, fear comes first when the market

shows unlikely downfall.

We really need skills to survive in a competitive world like today, skills in a field are certainly a benchmark for us to get better jobs with higher incomes, but I think if we really have qualified skills in a field isn't it better for us to create our own work than to find a job or work for someone else?
I think with the advancement of the digital era today, many people can earn income without having to have a permanent job, but on condition that we must be willing to learn new things and also never give up.

Preparing for the future,I think this should be the mindset of every human currently in the world, with the way things are going in the world of today,Increment of products,high cost of living and so many other things. One should put into consideration how the future would look like or would be,if not for us how would it be for the upcoming generation,so we should try and make possible ways of making the world a better place by doing or engaging in any productive business such as crypto to make sure our children yet unborn lacks nothing.
Remember he who fails to plan, plans to fail.

We all go to school from childhood to adulthood, it is one of the preparations for facing the future. Therefore education is an important thing that
can make our future bright. Therefore, many parents try to pay for their children's schooling in the best place so that in the future they have a good job.
But now the world has changed, school is not the most important, because we can get knowledge on the internet. Even my skills are mostly not
obtained from school, but because I learn a lot from videos on YouTube. So as long as we are diligent in learning many things on the internet,
it will open up opportunities for us to get a good income. Prepare for our future starting from now, by learning something on the internet that can
increase our knowledge and skills.

For sure, so many jobs will be no more very soon and will be replaced and these new categories you mentioned, for sure one needs to learn new stuffs and adapt to these changes, and I am sure schools who install these stuffs in their curriculums, students of them will have super advantage over them who just follow the ancient subjects!  Hopefully they change as required.

Life and career plus motivations, the highest among them is motivation because it's your motivation that serves as a fuel to keep you going, it's a good thing to have skills or profession on but it requires motivation on the job, I have been involved in so many ventures and have acquired skills to keep me prepared for the future as time change and knowledge need to be upgraded to keep up with recent happening and demands.

I still see school as the most important despite this time school is not a guarantee of getting that dream job we wish for ourselves,  going to school is also part of preparing for the future. With the mentality and idea we got from school, i think it can make skill to be achieved and be well managed in terms of thinking to solve issues that maybe a challenge that is effecting the skill.

Education is the basic weapon for the survival. Enhancing your skills is one of the most important to possess to make generate good income. May it be skills in business handling, programming, engineering, and other professional fields.
However, schools may not teach us how to run a business, instead what they teach is how to manage someone's business. Like the accountancy and business administration courses.
But since were in here in crypto space , we are lucky enough to secure our future or early retirement plan by investing in Bitcoin slowly but surely.

It is the power of motivation that will keep you going higher in profit making even though you are not making a progress now, but you have that full confidence that you will make a big progress in the future. Career and motivation has helped many youths in their community to become a successful traders by acquired a potential skills from cryptocurrency trading that made them different from other people that doesn't have cryptocurrency skills. Those that acquired such potential skills will have a lot to achieve in the future because many people are fully prepared for this great news that is about to happen to bitcoin price in the exchange market.

But there are people who do think off that education isnt really necessary since there are ones who dont depend on what degree that they do able to attain but instead they had able to make their

lives better by means of their own skills or simply their own methods or ways which i could say that its possible but its not really suggested and not applicable for all people.

Education would really be your best foundation because you could at least somehow find day stable jobs in case you dont succeed out on other aspects.

I really support studying but don't support mandatory studying. I am a very disciplined and obedient student at school and including addicts in subjects but that does not make me successful. What is needed to prepare for the future is experience, knowledge and mentality because those who always learn from their own failures or from other people, on average become successful.

All this you have listed is what the word is looking for and it's a target of the future. They are all important skill one should get knowledge about and they are skills if obtained  one can be self employed and making a lot of cool money.

Learning up one of those skills would really be putting you into advantage since we are on a digital era which it is really just common sense that it would really be most likely connected with
online kind of work which these skills would really be that relevant or would really be useful and having that high chance on getting hired if you are really tending to touch up this area.
Of course we do have our own ways on preparing for our future which is to have a good financial freedom and other means of having a good living without any problems
since you could really support yourself.

True. Now it is very clear that it is not necessary to receive several higher educations and devote your whole life to career growth, it is enough to engage in a digital profession. Even at my work they are already beginning to experience robotization of production, I need to look for a new job :(

The future will be difficult to predict because inflation and economic recession always happen everywhere, I also didn't think that the presence of the pandemic in the last 2 years made my income drop so that many of my assets decreased and some of the houses I rented out were empty, this made me have to divert and look for alternative investment to make the future better.

many people have been affected by the pandemic, so just surviving seems to be a good achievement. of course cryptocurrency is the choice to place our assets for the future, what will happen in the future indeed we will not know, but preparing it as well as possible will make us more prepared to face whatever happens later. on the other hand we still have a god who will always give fortune

I'm a salesman in a telecommunications company, finding a good salary is not an easy thing in difficult economic times and the covid-19 pandemic with the consequences of inflation.  I fully understand that declining demand will force you to seek higher productivity to generate higher income. 
- Basically I don't think it will be a long-term problem for this job. 
- I choose to invest for the future in bitcoin.  Some of my colleagues already have several plots of land and are profitable faster.  But that's not what I expected, the future is what's beyond, I expect something like a miracle to completely change my life.  No one wants to work for a lifetime salary and even if age sinks you will be fired.  Lol

I agree with your opinion, while there is still time, continue to learn and increase knowledge, seek as much knowledge as possible and take the highest education possible, because with the knowledge of our life it will be easy, learning is the key to success, because I personally feel very lost because I used to never want to study, so wherever I look for work no one wants to accept it, good luck there are friends who recognize me about crypto, I continue to learn and always learn, even now I am still learning about the crypto world, because maybe this is the only way to be able to change my life in the future.

I really liked this post, it felt so meaningful and I had been contemplating the same for quite some time. It might seem harsh but yes technology is going to make many jobs obsolete sooner than later, for example AI based decision making processes and further automation will take away need of human interventions. However more new work areas are emerging simultaneously. One important area is food production. The world is facing shortage of food and inflation and most of the people are limited to only tech jobs , but food industry is going to see a boom in future.

Man has basic needs. He will always eat, get sick, be born, die. These processes are endless and require experienced support. If a person chooses one of these professions related to the basic functions of a person, he will always be in demand. It is very important to get a good education and love your job, to be a good specialist in your work. And then it won't matter much what you do.

skills are a way to make money. all skills should be used to the best of their ability. Some of the big entrepreneurs who are already successful in their fields have excellent skills, such as marketing, creative ideas and time management in obtaining finance. some of the points you mentioned are skills in achieving success. maybe there is a problem with the skills we have, namely the greed for our income.

finish education and get a decent job, then when we are old we just sit quietly and receive our retirement salary. I think this will be too heavy for us to go through, let alone too many daily bills, making us think too much and our health will be disturbed. we as intellectuals also have to prepare other businesses, behind the salary we receive there are other incomes that can make our lives better. I prefer to build a business with skills that we have to prepare for old age and can provide education to our children.

I believe that the future economy will experience many difficulties, this is due to the increasingly expensive cost of living triggered by skyrocketing oil prices, and this is what makes us have to prepare for a better future, for example bitcoin investment because so far I have always known bitcoin. satisfied with bitcoin performance.

Increasing prices is inevitable and its really that common sense that you would really be planning for your future in terms of investment and savings for us to survive or on having a very good way of living or survival.

We do work and we do invest and we do save up because we know that everything does come with a price.You arent that dumb for you not to consider or minding about your future
specially if you do have  family then you would really be looking or finding ways on how to make your life way more better.

Crypto investment is a good one because of overall potential but it is somewhat risky.
