In the heart of bustling Shanghai, Li Hua is a smart city planner who is often immersed in the blueprint for the city's future development.
His life and work seemed peaceful until the dayHis company suddenly announced that the position of smart city planner would be drastically cut due to technological advancements and policy adjustments.
As a result, the trajectory of Li Hua's life has taken a dramatic turn.
Meanwhile, at the other end of the city, Chen Rong is aSocial** marketing specialist, she faced the same dilemma.
With the development of AI technology, the traditional social marketing method is gradually being replaced by robots.
Against this backdrop, two other jobs are also affected.
The third post is:Tourist guides,With the maturity of virtual reality technology, more and more people choose to experience travel through VR at home, which makes the need for on-site tour guides drastically decrease.
The last post is:LibrarianDue to the popularity of digital reading, the number of visits to physical libraries has dropped significantly.
The economics behind these changes are actually quite simple: technological progress and market changes will always bring about changes in the structure of industries and occupations.
But this time, I want to look at the issue from a different angle. When we talk about job change, we tend to overlook one key factor – the ability of humans to adapt.
Every technological revolution in human history has been accompanied by a huge career transition.
We should not only see the disappearance of jobs, but also the emergence of new opportunities.
For example,Smart city planners may need to transform into data analysts, social marketing specialists can turn to AI-powered content creation, tour guides can become designers of virtual reality experiences, and librarians can transform into curators of digital materials.
My view is that in the face of career change, we should pay attention to the improvement and transformation of individual capabilities.
It's not just about learning new skills, it's about developing the ability to learn new things.
In this era of rapid change, adaptability and learning ability have become the most important "vocational skills".
Finally, the advice to consumers is: don't be afraid of change, but learn to dance with it.
When jobs are threatened, look for new opportunities to improve your skills and adaptability so you can succeed in an ever-changing market.
We can't control the changes in the market, but we can control our preparations.
