Preparing for the future.

[TheNineClub]

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.

What is certain is that the future is in the hands of each of us, which means that we decide for ourselves

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.

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;

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

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 

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.

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.

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.

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.

"Finish School, Get a Job, and work yourself for a paycheck to retirement".

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
