There has been much debate about what the technological revolution will do to the job market. Will jobs disappear and become scarce due to automation?
That is the million dollar question. The way I see it is if all we had was our current outdated economic system we would be in trouble. With the rise of blockchain tech we now have another option. We now can choose the economic system we want to create. I go into further detail about the potential of blockchain technology as it pertains to the economy here.
I’ve made the mistake of being short sighted with my career when I was younger. I’ll tell you what I learned by the mistakes I made.
I started at the top of an industry as an Operations Manager. That evolved into becoming a broker in my industry . It turned into such a great opportunity.
I thought this was a career I could ride on into retirement. Little did I know beneath the surface the economy was going to change radically. The internet radically changed the industry which caused the industry to be less appealing.
Looking back I realize I should have studied economic trends so that I could have positioned myself. As time went on the transition was complete and my golden goose quit laying.
Just as the internet changed the face of business the blockchain will change it radically again. Automation is coming and it will decimate entire industries. There is talk about automation within many industries but blockchain tech has the power to reshape every industry by decentralizing and automating them.
Teachers, Lawyers, Truck Drivers, and Bankers. Those are some of the positions that will most likely be eliminated. There is even talk about automating Amazon,Uber, Airbnb, and the entire insurance industry.
The question is how will this affect your future. Are you depending on jobs that will most likely be irrelevant in 10 yrs. if so you could have very rough times in your future.
Here are are some principles to help you avoid being a victim of the blockchain revolution.
The first thing you should do is look at your career and ask yourself how your career will look in an economy ten years from now. Research which jobs are threatened.
The next thing you should do is start studying blockchain trends so you know where the economy is headed in the future.
Find people who understand blockchain economics to help you understand where it’s headed. I always say study trends and talk with friends. Talking with friends helps bring broader understanding.
Seek to build a strong community around you. Make friends with people who are in any industry you want to transition to. Find friends who are already successfully doing what you want to do. This will greatly increase your odds of being successful.
Reject isolating yourself. In rough economic times a lot of people withdraw from community and fall into depression. This is the time you need community the most. Make sure to communicate your situation to those closest to you. This will result in them helping you rather than judging you.
Don’t make the mistake of being short sighted. If you don’t study the economic trends and see how they will affect your industry you could find yourself in a bad situation. I’ve talked to many people on the streets this has happened to.
