Future of Jobs with AI

Future of Jobs with AI

Most career advice for kids is outdated. Especially in the age of AI.


Here’s how I’m preparing my own kid—and what I’d tell any parent asking the same question.

I have thought about this a lot over the last weeks.

The result is this: I have identified 3 future-proof path for our kids (and probably ourselves too!)

1. THE MEGA EXPERT
Their superpower: judgement
Mantra: “An AI can generate answers. I provide the right one.”

What they actually do:
– Spot when AI recommendations ignore real-world signals
– Choose the 1 insight that matters from 1,000 AI-generated options
– Add context, nuance, and “so what?” to raw AI analysis
– Catch flaws in AI forecasts before they mislead leadership

How to become one:
– Get a Master’s degree or specialized certifications
– Become a voracious reader of foundational texts and research
– Find a master mentor with 20+ years in the field
– Practice explaining complexity simply

Hidden risk: Intellectual stubbornness


2. THE AI SAVVY
Their superpower: acceleration
Mantra: “I don’t work harder. I build systems that work for me.”

What they actually do:
– Build internal AI tools (e.g. churn-risk detectors from CRM data)
– Vibe code tools/apps with no-code + LLM APIs
– Launch outbound campaigns with AI-personalized messaging
– Automate workflows using LLMs and APIs

How to become one:
– 2h Daily practice with AI tools (ChatGPT, Claude, Lovable)
– Build small AI projects to solve real problems
– Mastering prompt engineering (I have FREE infographics + courses about this, go to my page & follow)
– Think like an engineer: “Where’s the friction AI can remove?”

Hidden risk: Superficiality where you become a jack of all tools with no depth or impact


3. THE META HUMAN
Their superpower: influence
Mantra: “The best algorithm can’t close a deal or inspire a team. I can.”

What they actually do:
– Mediate conflicts between data and intuition-driven teams
– Present complex AI plans persuasively to the board
– Sense what AI can’t like human nuance, company politics, taste
– Lead cross-functional teams with psychological safety

How to become one:
– Study human nature
– Seek high-stakes communication roles
– Learn to lead without a title
– Practice active listening

Hidden risk: Strategic miscalculation—ignoring what AI can/can’t do and risking poor judgment

You don’t need to master all 3 right now.
Here is what you can do:
– Choose one of these 3 as your major
– But also one of them to develop as your minor

Which of the 3 personas do you see yourself becoming?
