Future-Proof Jobs
- jerryji 17y agoSuits Digg much better than HN.
- rjprins 17y agoPfff, nonsense. Here are some proven future-proof jobs: - baker - prostitute - politician - musician
- electromagnetic 17y agoI don't necessarily see 'undersea welder' as a future proof job. Our whole prediction of the future, currently, is the end of oil, which means the end of offshore oil platforms, which probably means 90% of these jobs will be gone. This doesn't really make it future proof. Ed: I'd say any job that is future proof, has likely already survived the industrial and information revolutions. My personal opinion of future proof jobs is, if Jesus could have done it then we likely will in 2,000 years. Fishing, Farming (Crop and Animal), Carpenter, Blacksmith (There's still farriers, but also still people who work with cast iron and such, but I suppose most construction-based welding would probably be included), Plasterers (Now mostly dry waller's), masonry (brick laying, tilers and all the more specialist tasks), plumbers (water, sewage, gas). Having worked as an electrician I'd like to include it as I doubt it will go away, however it didn't exist 2,000 years ago so by my own rule I wouldn't consider it truly future proof until time proves me wrong.

- russell 17y agoWhat a wonderful future: building carbon fiber composites at $20 per hour. I did the equivalent, building fiberglass boat when I was in college decades ago. I dont recommend it: stick, smelly, and toxic.
