Many people feel they work in pointless, meaningless jobs, research confirms: The theory that many people feel the work they do is pointless because their jobs are "bullshit" has been confirmed by a new study. https://phys.org/news/2023-08-people-pointless-meaningless-jobs.html
Daily Inspiration: "'Just-in-time knowledge' - Your ability to get the right knowledge at the right time for the right purpose for the right situation. That's power!" - Futurist Jim Carroll
This phrase bears repeating, over and over again:
"You won't be replaced by an AI. But it's pretty likely you could be replaced by someone using an AI!"
I went online yesterday with a short clip demonstrating the power of ChatGPT in accelerating the ingestion of knowledge. Give it a watch.
Here's the scenario. I came across a long McKinsey report, "Generative AI and the future of work in America." I was intrigued by the article and wanted to know what it might tell me, but was in a bit of a rush. Plus, being a futurist, I wanted to use the insight in the article to give me a prediction about what new jobs and careers might emerge in the future, and what existing jobs and careers might disappear.
Who has time to read this stuff? There is so much happening with AI right now that I wanted to get the work done quickly. So rather than actually doing the work, I had ChatGPT do it for me.
For almost three decades, I've talked about the fact that if you want to get ahead in your career, you need to develop the skill of what I call 'just-in-time knowledge' - getting the right knowledge at the right time for the right purpose. That's my own superpower. You need it too.
If money/privilege wasn't a thing, and you had the born-with-it talent, if you could choose, what work/career would you pick? 🤔 Reply and share if you like.

@Fitnessfoundry It really depends what one wants to do with their life in terms of a career. Would anyone want to be treated by a cardio-thoracic surgeon who did not have the appropriate medical degrees? Although #degrees are not essential for success in life they are important milestones for some professions. #Education#Careers
The problem with having degrees for everything is that it becomes the entry requirement for most careers. This puts people who don’t go to university for whatever reason at a significant disadvantage. It’s completely insane that one generation could walk into a career aged 16 & learn on the job, whilst another has to take out a large student loan & do an extra 5 years in education to do the exact same job.
I'm unofficially/officially retiring from freelancing as an #accessibility consultant. The decision has been long in coming. While I will always continue to care about accessibility work, I no longer find it fulfilling. I will continue to be involved in projects that highly interest me as I've been doing for a couple of years now.
I'll focus instead on mentoring, leadership, executive training/coaching and other such work.

I miss the days of finding a job in the want ads. In an actual newspaper (Yes, I am that old). It was so short the company was forced to tell you what the job was very straightforward and to the point. A company would go broke paying for space for all this creative writing bull shit they come up with now.
Just tell me what you want me to do! Don’t try to spice it up and make it sound more involved than it actually is. #jobdescription#jobs#jobsearch#careers
