Transcripts
I recently flew to New York for the
Google developer groups event and this
was the build with AI event and I'm
bringing this up because during the time
there I got to meet with so many
incredible students who were studying
computer science and I noticed something
I noticed a trend as to what within
computer science they were studying what
jobs they were looking for it all had
this underlying thread which we'll get
to in a bit here these students these
individuals whether it be in that
situation or in general they are focused
on the most in demand skills they want
to stay ahead be as competitive as
possible but what job
won't make it throughout that what jobs
with the tech industry booming and
continuously creating different
technical jobs what jobs are going to
fall behind especially nowadays with AI
and I see on YouTube or social media a
lot of times the pros the and even we
talk about it what jobs will be created
but very little do people really take a
step back and are willing to have the
conversation at least around what jobs
will be taken away what jobs if we look
5 years or 10 years down the road might
not be here and that's what we are going
to dive into today we are going to talk
about what jobs what skills will become
less in demand because of AI and really
everything that is going on with in Tech
but then also to what skills and jobs
will continue to grow in demand I'm
going to base this not only on my past
experiences you know going to these
different events hearing from people I
mean I'm literally in Las Vegas right
now at a Tech conference learning more
about just this but also to at the
Google event uh at this event so many
different areas where I'm hearing from
thought leaders and I want to share with
you what skills are looking ahead going
to continue in demand but then also to
have a very caned conversation about
what jobs might not make it in the next
few years or be at least very low in
demand all right let's get into
[Music]
it first up let's talk about the skills
that will continue to decrease not
increase we're getting really candid
here that will continue decrease in
demand and where is this information
coming from this is coming from well
pretty much what we see on a daily BAS
es within the job market what types of
skills are going up in demand and what
are we seeing less up the first one is
manual dexterity and repetitiveness so
this is no surprise especially when we
think of AI and how it is able to
automate so much of our tasks so things
such as jobs that involve repetitive
manual tasks such as assembly line
workers packaging they are all prime
candidates for automation now listen
even these roles they will evolve people
in these roles will find different ones
or evolve with this technology or even
learn to operate a lot of this
technology it's moving fast but it's not
moving fast to the point where people
can't keep up with it which is a
positive this isn't here to scare anyone
but just to start really thinking about
where you can upskill the next one is
around narrow specific tasks and once
again I hope this isn't a surprise every
time we think of automation or AI it can
do these narrow specific tasks and it
only is getting better I mean who was it
it was Sam Alman who recently said that
they are working on at open AI AGI being
possible and when we think about that AI
not only being able to do simple tasks
but being able to once it completes that
task do the next task that really makes
you have to stop and think as to jobs
that are doing these very specific tasks
will eventually start or even are
already starting to decrease now the
next one on the list this one could be a
bit controversial if you will or at
least some people might disagree and I
think it's because it's still a very
sensitive topic but the next on my list
I have is routine customer service now
hear me out chat Bots such as AI powered
uh you know when we think of chat GPT
when we think of Claude these are able
to do have good conversations even now
when you go on websites a lot of times
you might not even realize it but in
that little box where you are typing for
help you are not talking to a human you
are talking to an AI I mean I hope you
realize that we're tech people here but
if you're not and you're watching this
most of the time it is an AI that will
continue to improve as the conversation
with AIS are trained and get better and
better smarter and smarter as these
models do anyways and also to as they
continue to learn more about the data
and interact with humans they will
become better right now I think you can
kind of tell the difference whether you
are interacting with a human or not now
I do think there is going to be a huge
need for customer service and what I do
think will happen with this one is when
we think about companies who offer uh
you know whether it's you wait for hours
on the phone or you are talking to a
chatbot when we think of really premium
companies what will happen is they will
start offering Human Services and I
really think it's going to be marketed
like that where it's though we have real
humans help you versus it's always
pressing zero press one on the phone and
always speaking just to an automated
system these companies who really want
to stand out they're going to start
hiring humans where we will see a demand
for customer service actually surge is
into almost this prestigious job that is
done by less people but the people who
do it do it really well that's just my
prediction by the way but I'm curious to
hear do you agree with this disagree
leave in the comments all right now
let's get into the good stuff let's talk
about some skills that we are seeing
continue to rise and grow or areas that
are continuing to grow into M the first
one I want to talk about is one that
when I've been going to a lot of these
conferences I see over and over again
that more people want to get into or are
working towards getting into but equally
there are so much more jobs that need to
be filled for this role than currently
are so it's a good sign it's not that so
many people want to get into it but
there's not enough jobs to fill it's the
opposite and I think it will continue
this way this of course is data
scientists and data analyst this is such
a popular role right now and although it
will evolve with the use of AI I mean we
can already see a lot of AI systems
doing portions of this job very small
portions not to the level that it will
take over or anything like that just
like how AI can help with coding for
example it's actually I have up on here
so data scientist roles are projected to
grow
36% from 2021 to 2031 which is much
faster than all other occupations and
this is from the US Bureau of Labor
Statistics had to get really technical
there for a sec here cuz I really want
to highlight just how much in demand
this role is continuing to be now there
are so much variations to this role
based on if you work at a big company a
startup or anything in between now if
you are looking to get into one of these
roles here are two courses that I would
recommend they have great reviews I am
not a data data analyst nor am I going
to become one but I do think based on
the reviews the feedback even from
friends that I've heard speak about it
these are two really good course option
course I don't need more coffee today
course options next on the list is cyber
security I mean I'm going to read this
doat to you so the global Cyber secur
Market is projected to grow from 27
billion in 2021 to 345 billion by
2026 that is from markets and markets
that's incredible and you can really see
this number continuing to increase
especially as Tech moves so fast we need
more cyber Security Experts people who
are both on the technical side but also
on the business side who are well versed
in this who really understand the
backbone to it and why it is so
important now here are two courses that
I would recommend for beginners if you
just starting your career in cyber
security you might be further along in
your Tech Career or Journey but if you
looking to Pivot in this direction the
biggest thing though with the first two
that I listed is you need to connect
with others in the industry already I
can't stress that enough go on LinkedIn
find people or even creators who are
talking about these specific topics and
reach out to them I mean that's what I'm
here for is to you know
for inform you fill you in educate you
and build you up so you can go after
these careers because we need more
people like you in the industry now the
third one I really want to talk about
isn't necessarily a specific skill but a
trend within the workforce that I've
really noticed this trend is Consulting
actually I saw this I saw this article
let me see if I can find it and I'll put
it up on screen here if I can find it
which was by that Google is rumored it's
not 100% confirmed it wasn't confirmed
by them anyways to hire more contractors
now than full-time employees that can't
be right I wonder what the stat is I got
to find that article again but it's
contractors in general I have noticed
this trend especially since around 2022
where more companies or big companies
anyways are looking to hire contractors
versus the commitment of a full-time
employee now there are pros and cons to
this the pro is contractors typically
get paid a lot more than full-time
employees they are there for shorter
periods of time you are coming in with
your expertise and teaching or educating
Consulting whatever Consultants do I'm
just kidding but Consulting these
companies now for the company it's a
win-win because it's less risk they are
hiring you for quite a bit of money
probably but they know it's for a
shorter period of time so it's less of a
commitment now the downside if you are a
contractor is depending on how what
country you're in and how you have your
business set up it might be something as
though you don't have health care or you
don't have insurance different things
like that might not come with Consulting
Consulting but what does come with
Consulting is that higher paycheck so
hopefully you can put some money towards
some of those things if needed now I've
seen Consulting really blow up in
throughout the tech industry as a whole
whether you're a developer a designer
project manager Consulting is such an
interesting area it's something that I'm
really interested in actually um I've
consulted before with a lot of big tech
companies from mang if you will and it's
some of the best experiences I have now
you're probably asking K Tiff I'm very
interested in Consulting but how do I
get started the easiest way way to get
started in Consulting is by building
your personal brand and I know some of
you maybe feel like well I don't want to
start a YouTube channel Tiff I don't
want to start putting myself out there
like that there are so many other ways
you can one of the best ways is even
through blogging or posting on LinkedIn
some of your projects now obviously that
might not land you your first client per
se but starting to do that consistently
and sharing your learnings or what you
are building for other clients is super
helpful for visibility the other way
though too is through freelancing sites
now I've worked with so many great
Freelancers that started out on upwork
or mainly upwork or Fiverr even as well
or the relationship started out on these
platforms and then what has happened is
you work with a client for so long or I
worked with you know people on these
platforms for so long and I bring them
off of the platform meaning I need some
water meaning I don't know if you can
hear my voice I've been up for a long
time today cuz I flew in from Vegas this
morning that's just a side note here
wait scratch up I didn't fly in from
Vegas I flew from Toronto to Vegas you
can tell my sleep deprivation is
catching up to me okay back to to the
topic though using these sites like
upwork or Fiverr are great ways to get
clients and then from there as you build
long-term relationships you can take
that off of these platforms if you so
choose and of course it makes sense too
all right those are some of the jobs
that we or skills even that we are
seeing continue to decline and probably
will but then on the upside here are
some of the skills that are continuing
to grow in demand the most important
thing overall is continuing to be a
learner and evolve with this technology
this doesn't have to get exhausting
don't try and con stantly keep up like
it's a rat race take it day by day stay
curious that's honestly the best thing
you can do all right I was going to say
I need more coffee but I definitely
don't I think I need to go for a nap now
