Develop specialized skills and intuition to avoid being replaced by technology
From the Career Opportunities Archives…
Working with my computer consulting clients day-after-day, I find that there is a lot of my work that could be done by a computer. In some ways, I am little more than a flesh and bones translator for information that can be readily found in online search engines or manufacturer’s support sites. I understand that my clients find it easier to work with me. I know how and where to search Google to find the best answers and how to translate sometimes confusing instructions into solid solutions. Thank goodness they find value in that or I might have to go looking for another line of work. Still, this type of work does remind me that if there is a way to systematize your work and your knowledge so that the average person can use it, your job will eventually be in danger.
