Jobs or skills that will never fades away

[JoyceBTC]

When we're talking about the Job that will never fade away, the health sector always comes first. Just like you said earlier, people are sick every day and wise sayings health is wealth. But where the problem is now is the rate people are rushing into that section with zero knowledg honestly it's frustrating. If not, health sector is one of the best that I will always recommend for someone as a business that will never fade away. For example a pharmacist shop no matter how many they are you are going to make profits from it. When it comes to skill i will always recommend fashion design, because people will never get tired of fashion, you just need to make clothes to people's taste.

The health sector is evolving and we are slowly moving away from orthodox medical approach to a more advanced practice where machines do most of the jobs.

Even if we will get to a stage where machine will do most of the jobs, I’m not sure conducting surgeries will be part of it because some surgeries involves very high risk depending on the patient’s illness or type of surgery and I’m very sure no human will want to undergo that process with an artificial intelligence. During surgeries also, complications might arise which is best believed that a doctor can handle that more compared to AI.

What do you think is qualified for the list?

I think the real forever skill is not any form of job but a person has to be a problem solver when u have that skill your demand is available at any time. I agree with your idea of stock market and also stock market is a forever thing but some times market changes and also strategies stop working so u have to become highly cautious and updated in this on the other side jobs like foods and constructions and health related are hard to eliminate because it is a need of every human.

There are some needs that people will need until they die, for example, if you open a clothing store, people will need clothes to fulfill their basic needs until they die. So you can keep the clothing business running or produce clothes.
If you can do a hair cutting business, keep a neat salon open and you can become the owner there and continue it until you die.
If you work hard and save money and open a filling station next to your house, remember that as long as people's cars are on the road, your business will continue.
If you set up a restaurant or fast food corner on the side of the road, you will see that your fast food shop will continue as long as there are people on the earth.

Getting into stock market is a different thing.
While there are exceptional people who can learn how to trade the stocks and be wealthy with it.
But not everyone can be a risk taker and has what it takes to survive in different types of market situation.
Being good in investing can be a skill that's going to be rare for most people and it's not for everyone.
And a regular employee of those you have said including the truckers I think will not fade away and many other blue collar jobs too.

No job will be completely eliminated. Especially the jobs which human needs  related that you mentioned will remain. AI robots or automation may reduce the number of workers, but controlling them will definitely require more manpower. And running AI technology and programming it with data centers requires a lot of electricity and is also damaging the environment. So how effective will AI actually be in the long run and how much will humans be able to bear the cost of AI use is also a matter of concern. The whole world cannot yet be completely dependent on AI. Repeatable tasks can be done by AI. But human involvement will have to need because AI has not yet fully strengthened its position where it will replace humans. But some tasks have already been replaced, especially where the same task can be done with fewer employees only because of the help of AI.

...If you can do a hair cutting business, keep a neat salon open and you can become the owner there and continue it until you die...

In 2026, a barber shaves at about the same speed as a barber in 1975. The assignment remains the same. But all around became more costly. Other industries became more productive, and wages increased in all industries. And now your barber has to charge more just to keep staff from leaving to work at a warehouse. The skill stays the same. This cost structure devours you!

With that said, if someone tells you to keep a salon open forever, then for all intents and purposes, nobody's automating a haircut anytime soon. But that is sort of the wrong question? Can a small independent owner acutally keep affording to do the task?

Every generation had things people desperately needed, served by structures that completely collapsed and rebuilt in ways the previous owners could not have imagined. You may have a skill that is forever. The business that is around it is most likely not.

Well. I don't think there is any job that can survive forever. Even stocks can change a lot with time or become very unstable.

For me it's better to have skills around basic needs like food, healthcare, construction, energy or fixing things. Sales too, people will always need to sell something. The best and real skill is probably you, adapting when the market changes.

[hedgeh0g]

I need your help, coming from a newbie please don't mind.
What are the list of jobs that will forever survives?

Even it doesn't have to be a job, just something that is a fuel of money, something that will never die and if ones skill is based around it such space will never die.

The only one I can come up with is stock market, the end of stock market means the end of the world, maybe if a might omnipotent nuke get released into the world.

Stocks can never die and just imagine if one is good at trading stocks, they will never go out of business.

Lately, I’ve been thinking a lot about how artificial intelligence has advanced significantly in terms of digital technologies and design, but it will never be able to create unique things the way humans do.
After all, many human creations, such as paintings or, for example, clay pots, are unique because they contain some small mistakes that people make - and yet this is what makes these works individual. But AI always does everything flawlessly, and if it deliberately makes mistakes, they will look ridiculous and won’t add any personal touch to the products.

Based on what you've said, "the market doesn't die," so anything related to that line seems like one of the best skills to have especially now is having a knowledge about technology and financial related itself, as it is becoming increasingly important since technology has continued to grow over the years. With that, people need to adapt to what’s happening around us in order to survive in the long run. If you’ve noticed, many young students prefer to take courses related to computers and technology because, when it comes to practicality and demand, having enough experience and deep knowledge in computer science can lead to big salary offers.

Yes, there are big opportunities for the people who are interested in working in an office and they have to learn skills of office which will make them capable to give benefits to the company. Thousands of people have degrees and diplomas in computers but they don't know how to solve people's problems, and they are jobless in the market. Every field has scope but that depends on the person who likes the work to do. Most of the people want chair and  they don't want to do work with staying stand and that looks tough to them but degree matters and with experience you are valuable because companies have many requirements. If you have only experience, then they will give you job but your salary will be very low.

The inability to have insecurity of permanent employment requires a true picture of the dynamism of the times. Sectors of basic needs like food, healthcare, physical construction, energy and repairs have proved to be the most enduring since individuals always need such basic services in their lives.

One factor that is pertinent in the exchange of economic value is business skills. The ability of a person to change our capacity to the changing conditions of the real world is the best form of protection as it trumps ownership of financial assets, which are susceptible to shocks.

I think if we stop to think about it, we can say that some professions will never disappear. For example sex workers, that profession will never end. Yes, maybe robots will come along in the future, but doing this with a real person is a completely different experience and I don't think any robot will ever be able to fully replace that.

Many professions that require human intelligence and can't be done with artificial intelligence will still be around. But it's also true that many professions that exist today won't be around in the near future. Choosing the right career is important for young people. When I think back to 20 years ago, when we were in school very different careers were popular. People were making a lot of money in them, but now some of them don't even exist anymore. Everything changes over time, we need to accurately predict the future for our children.

I love the idea of making and growing your own food. As you said, the pandemic was an eye opener for anyone with foresight. It is high time we accumulate enough seeds just incase we find ourselves in such a mess. I have done that in my little way and I intend to do more. I have also experimented with the planting of both garlics,ginger and last turmeric. When the globe goes tumbling, we need skills that can obviously fix things and also solve problems. Apart from having good communication skills and leadership skills, everyone would want to eat and I will love to do the honours of feeding anyone who wants to be fed.

Gardening skills have become a necessity these days. I was forced to learn how to do it a few years ago because the cost of vegetables skyrocketed. In winter, the prices are astronomical; buying even small quantities is out of the question, yet they are an essential part of one's diet.

Now I grow cucumbers, tomatoes, and peppers at home. I also plan to plant onions, lettuce, and basil. That will be quite enough to provide my body with the necessary vitamins.

In this way, the authorities compel us to acquire new knowledge and experience. In this instance, that is actually a good thing. One should never rely on the state.

Those that are in the medical field will hardly loss their job I don't ever see AI taken over their jobs in years to come I don't even believe if human will let an AI or a robot function as a doctor because its a matter of life and death so those medical professionals i don't think there work will easily get fade up. Again if you are business person that sells what people eat will also be in a safe angle because people can't do without eating.

[viljy]

If you think about it carefully, there are no professions that would exist forever. In principle, robots controlled by AI will replace people in any profession in the future (as soon as maintaining such a robot becomes cheaper than hiring a person for that job). Probably by 2050, most people will be unemployed. By the way, the world of the future will likely be sparsely populated, as the population will shrink many times over time because people will no longer be needed as a workforce.

PS Actually, there is only one profession that will never disappear - being poor and unhappy. Because if there are no poor people, wealth and power will lose their meaning. Therefore, a certain number of poor people will always be maintained in society so that the rich can enjoy their suffering. This may be somewhat reminiscent of the times of the Roman emperor Caligula or Nero, when power was unlimited and perverted.

no job is 100% safe forever. Tech changes everything eventually.
If anything stays close to safe, it's basic stuff people literally can't live without—food, healthcare, housing, or fixing broken things. But even those jobs will look completely different in ten years.
Honestly, instead of chasing a "forever" job, it makes way more sense to just get good at adapting when things change.

[Finebone]

I don't really know of other nations, but I disagree with this piece of information that barbers are earning more than mechanics or some engineers because in my country, having a nice haircut is not expensive, and due to how our currency have loss value you will need to cut more than fifteen people's hair daily in other to earn even close to a mechanic that repairs cars.

As a barber, their are some financial height you can never attain no matter how hard working you are, but such height can be easily attained by an engineer or a mechanic that has a lot of customers. I may agree that they are close to an electricians in earning capacity, but engineers and mechanics are on a different level financially to a barber.

Someone can add your skills to your list. Yes, your skills can always help you earn if you constantly work on improving your skills. Consumer products are essential needs of people. As long as people are alive, these things will definitely be needed for human survival. Starting from medicines, food, fuel, they need to be used every moment. I think if people see that the world is being destroyed from one side, they will still go to the pharmacy to buy medicines for their various illnesses.
In that case, if someone wants to run their own business as an entrepreneur, then the guarantee of income is more than that of a job. Being self-reliant is definitely a complement to increasing one's live security.

I don't think there is anyone that hs sit on their computer for years as trader and enter forbe list as top wealthy individuals, only investors has one it over the years, so the idea of saying becoming wealthy with stock market is wrong. You can be independent through trading irrespective of what type of market you involved in, you can't be a wealthy person through trading. I have never seen a single person, not even the traders that monetize their YouTube channels to make money through ads yet still claimed to be professional traders; that said.

However, there is a hack that comes with been a trader. If you know how to visualize and interprete trade and make more profits than your loss, there is nothing that can be that. You are financially independent for life but trading is not easy like it's discussed.

If anyone says trading is easy job, they are lying to you.

Stocks can never die and just imagine if one is good at trading stocks, they will never go out of business.

Hmm, I never thought about what the world would be like if the stock market stopped globally, although they have stopped in many countries before, like Russia, Argentina, etc. I don't really know how it will be globally, and I don't want to know.

You can be a farmer haha, or a construction/maintenance person. You can go into medicine if you like. I have thought of a course for me if AI took my job, that is HVAC. Is there anyone here an HVAC technician?

As a CS major student bro, I will say only one thing, you never stop. If someone replaces you, or you lose your job anyway, you don't get to regret, feel remorseful, or sit idle doing nothing. You don't have to worry about anything. Wake up, go outside, see what people are still doing and what you can do. Learn that, and start making money. Implementation is important, then just ideas.

HVAC technicians? The ones who works on refrigeration system? Many of them in my country but those people aren't doing so well with their lives probably because they are doing this jobs out of school, I mean no degrees involved.

So no big company hiring them, they are treated even less here, I read that HVAC technicians earns $59,000+ in the US,  and I laughed because that's not thee case in my country, they don't make anything close to quarter of that amount of money.

It means they aren't cherished enough, or maybe I should put it this way that they don't get paid enough for their quality services.

If we use income as the benchmark, there will certainly be significant variations based on the range of skills individuals possess; while income figures offer a basis for comparison, the actual sufficiency of those earnings depends on each person's specific needs and lifestyle choices—since even a high income may not be enough depending on the lifestyle one leads.
