There will always be jobs.

I remember back in ‘95 some loser at the car service I was working at while going to school told me

“Why are you learning graphics and other software?? In another 10 years ANYBODY will just be able to speak aloud what they want and there will be no need.

Programming will be gone.

no reason to learn how to type either because they’re gonna have software that types what you say?

If I had listened to this guy i wouldn’t haven’t made a bundle of money at presentations centers in investment banks in manhattan.

BTW, THEY ALL still exist today will exist tomorrow and next month and next year...

Those who cry about how all the jobs are gonna be gone are either retired, pessimistic or don’t want to work or make the effort to learn what they need to in order to get new jobs.

I have one cousin that is a CEO and one cousin that is a CTO.

They have both said that AI will aid in many things but from what they’ve seen, the number of new programmers needed offsets the jobs lost at MUCH better pay.

There’s always work. And there always will be.

Just gotta be willing to work. Or learn first.

Well, I do remember in 1983 a guy walked into the store where I sold Video equipment and said he was going to COBOL school and it was hot. My response, I kid you not, was this: “I thought I missed the computer revolution.”

Yeah. In 1983.

I did go to that 10 month night school for $2300 and it worked me up to a six figure income with out college. And one guy I went to class with, who had a year of community college, ended up working at the same three companies I worked for. We both worked in the same departments at the same time, except he stayed at one - a fortune 500 company - and became CIO for around 12 years. On a $2300 COBOL course.

However, I do think this time it will be different. I don’t know the timing, but still:
