Pull out a list from a decade ago, listing ten occupations that were considered to be unemployed at the time. Ten years have passed, and I don't think this list is any longer relevant, but I still want to share it with you to see if we should still make these careers our life goals now. So, let's take a look at the professions on this list.
First: teachers and trainers
Ten years ago, the educational environment was the best, and people were fighting for their future lives without so much pressure. However, no one could have foreseen that the involution of education has reached such a serious point that the country has to launch a double reduction policy at this time.
What I didn't expect now is that the number of people taking the teaching certificate exam is actually more than the number of newborns that year, indicating that there may be some problems in our education industry. I used to think that the teaching profession is a very sacred and noble profession, and an important force for cultivating talents for society. However, the current teaching profession has been questioned and criticized by many people.
Second: practitioners in the medical industry
No profession is absolutely stable, but the risk is relatively small compared to others. The profession of a doctor is not easy to mix, and if you want to really make a difference in this profession, you need to put in a lot of hard work and sweat, and you have to keep learning and improving your professional skills. If you just have the mentality of messing around, I'm afraid it will be difficult to gain a foothold in this industry.
Third: lawyers
Before the advent of GPT and strong artificial intelligence, the profession of lawyer was still quite advantageous. However, with the continuous advancement of artificial intelligence technology, the legal profession may face a certain shock.
GPT and strong AI have a high degree of learning ability and accuracy, and are able to quickly analyze and process large amounts of legal data, making them more efficient than lawyers in some aspects. Therefore, the future development of the legal profession is still very uncertain, and we need to continue to observe and evaluate.
Fourth: Fitness Trainer
That's right, 99% of you can get a fitness trainer certificate and you can basically get a job. Then, if you go to the gym and take a look, if you can last for one year, you can be great, and if you can last for three years, you can become a veteran. Don't ask me what the rest of the people are doing, anyway, they have everything, and they can't say a word or two.
Fifth: Chef
In creating this list, he didn't foresee the rise of pre-made dishes and central kitchens in the future, nor did he foresee the phenomenon that might arise in the future where you don't need a chef to open a restaurant. It's true that the demand for chefs is always there, but for those at the lower middle level, the job opportunities are more unpredictable, right?
Sixth: Marketers
Marketing will always exist, but how to keep up with the pace of the times, continue to innovate and change, is a problem that every marketer needs to constantly think about and practice. In today's Internet era, with the rise and popularization of new media, traditional marketing methods have been greatly impacted and challenged.
Therefore, as a marketer, you need not only the skills and knowledge of traditional marketing, but also the ability to understand and use new media and social media in order to be invincible in the highly competitive market.
Seventh: computer occupations
Now the hardest hit area of the 35-year-old unemployment is programmers, this phenomenon does exist, and it is also a problem worthy of our attention and consideration. However, at that time, the Internet industry was in a stage of rapid development, who would have thought that this industry would develop so quickly and become a hot industry?
Eighth: Financial Planner
Financial planners are facing new challenges in their current position. On the one hand, with the ever-changing economic situation and the volatility of the financial market, investors need more professional and comprehensive financial planning services to help them cope with uncertainty.
On the other hand, with the advancement of technology, such as the application of artificial intelligence, blockchain and other technologies, financial planners need to continuously learn and upgrade their skills to adapt to the changing market demand. In addition, with the continuous development of the financial planning industry, the quality and ability of practitioners also need to be continuously improved to better serve investors.
Ninth: Artists
In artistic creation, the artist's cultural background and personality can also be reflected in the work, but this is also a difficult problem. Artists also face tremendous pressure and challenges when it comes to communicating this personalized content to the public.
In modern society, people's acceptance of works of art has become more and more high, but in the case of large cultural differences, it is not easy to convey works of art. Therefore, how to balance individuality and universality, so that more people can accept and understand artworks, has become a huge challenge.
Tenth: Accounting practitioners
The salary of the industry is generally low, due to the low entry threshold of the accounting industry and the large number of accounting practitioners in the market, resulting in a relatively narrow career development space for accounting practitioners and fewer opportunities for promotion.
The accounting profession is constantly changing, with new policies, regulations, technologies, and tools emerging all the time, so accounting practitioners need to constantly update their knowledge and skills to adapt to the development of the industry.
Times have changed, and learning only one craft or skill is not enough, and you must keep learning to keep up with the development of society. As long as the agrarian society can survive, in the industrial society and the Internet age, learning is a must.
Faced with such a situation, people have to keep learning new technologies and keep up with the times to avoid falling behind others. In order to survive, people can only keep running forward, constantly learning and adapting to new environments, until they can no longer bear more pressure.
