Safe from AI: which jobs will help you thrive in the future?

Ever wonder which jobs will stand strong in an AI-driven world? According to Sarah Marsh writing in The Guardian, roles that rely on human skills — like teaching, law, and hospitality — are likely to remain resilient. Now, here’s where it gets interesting: experts say that jobs requiring empathy, complex decision-making, and creative problem-solving are less vulnerable to automation. As Sarah highlights, AI might handle routine tasks, but it struggles with nuanced human interaction and ethical judgment. So what does this mean for you? Focus on developing skills that AI can't replicate — like building relationships, interpreting complex human needs, or mastering creative crafts. That way, you’re not just surviving the future; you’re thriving in it. But here's the thing — are we actually preparing ourselves enough, or are we betting on the wrong skills? The real question becomes: who spots these shifts early and pivots before the pack catches on?
