Preparing for the future.

[Vaculin]

Preparing for the future is the same as preparing for survival and it will be a good asset for us to pass on to our descendants later. Not just wealth, but knowledge, skills in certain fields we also should not ignore. Without us knowing the future that we are preparing now for the continuation of life after us.

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.

[DoverDoane]

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

[HUSTLER]

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.

[famososMuertos]

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.

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

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?

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.

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.
