I'm considering switching occupations and becoming a registered nurse (in my country in europe).
The demographics here are so bad, I don't think we will need a large STEM workfore in ~15 years. Your shiny Vision-GPT model is useless when there is no one that wipes the asses of the elderly.
And I don't think Silicon Valley has the capabilities to solve this problem, no matter how often Sam Altman assures that it does.
- weatherlite 2y agoNurse is one of those occupations with pretty much guaranteed employment unless you burn yourself out (which is a real possibility unfortunately), but as long as you are able to and want to work there will be plenty of work for the reasons you've just said. If/when humanoid robots are a thing (probably not this decade or the next) then yeah we can all pretty much retire, but nurses will be the last to go.
