Orlando, Fla. (Ivanhoe Newswire) — A few years ago, many of us had never heard of AI. Now AI is quickly changing the world from writing, to coding, to even cloning your voice. A Goldman Sachs report predicts AI could displace 300 million jobs globally by 2030, less than five years from now. But some jobs are still safe, and you don’t need a four-year degree to land them.
The rise of AI has workers nervous about what’s next. One survey found 30 percent of employees fear AI could replace their job. But fear isn’t your only option. You can AI proof your career.
“The human skillset will get more and more necessary,” said John Crossman, CEO of Crossman Career Builders.
According to Resume-Now, fast-growing jobs that require people skills, like flight attendants and hotel managers aren’t easily automated and neither require a college education.
“It’s not going to be a software program that’s going to fix it, but it’s the human component to it,” explained Crossman.
Another option?
“Sales would be one of the ones that jumps out. Sales, customer service,” said Crossman.
The job involves relationship-building, and trust-based sales. Being a chef is also another role. While recipes are easy to cook and duplicate, it’s all about the taste test.
Electrician work requires adaptability, and physically being there to solve an issue, which AI cannot replicate. And if you want to go green, solar panel installers and wind turbine techs start at more than 50 thousand a year. Instead of fearing AI, experts say learn to work with it.
“See AI as a slice, and there’s all these other components that need to happen,” explained Crossman.
Career experts say if you want to stay employed in the AI age, focus on human strengths: communication, adaptability, and real-world skills. Because while AI may be smart, it still can’t do everything.
Plumbers, pipefitters, and steamfitters are also jobs that don’t need a degree and are AI proof. Plumbing involves working in unpredictable environments and being there to understand what exactly the problem and the solution to it is.
