(Tape to your fridge. Or your forehead.)

🚫 1. Jobs on the Chopping Block

• ❌ Data entry clerks
• ❌ Call center reps & telemarketers
• ❌ SEO blog writers & copy mills
• ❌ Basic bookkeeping/payroll clerks
• ❌ Junior paralegals reading PDFs
• ❌ Cashiers & fast-food order-takers (self-checkout’s already judging you)

🛡 2. Jobs That Survive the Robots

• ✅ Healthcare (nurses, therapists, surgeons, caregivers)
• ✅ Skilled trades (plumbers, electricians, mechanics—try automating that)
• ✅ Education (esp. early childhood & special ed)
• ✅ Creative performance (comedians, actors, chefs, designers)
• ✅ Leadership & strategy (executives, negotiators, entrepreneurs)

🎓 3. Learn AI (Without Becoming a Cyborg)

• AI For Everyone – Andrew Ng (Coursera)
• Accelerate Your Job Search with AI – Google
• Building with Retool AI – Coursera
• IBM SkillsBuild (Free)
• Elements of AI – Univ. of Helsinki (Free)
• Harvard CS50x (Free Computer Science Basics)

👉 Do 5–10 hours/week. Put “AI literate” on your résumé before your cousin beats you to it.

💡 4. Human Skills AI Sucks At

• Public speaking & communication
• Negotiation & mediation
• Comedy, storytelling, improvisation
• Leadership & empathy (robots don’t hug)

🧠 5. Mental Health & Sanity Plan

• Financial: Start a side hustle, diversify income.
• Social: Weekly human contact (coffee, calls, hugs).
• Psychological: Use fear as fuel—journal, exercise, therapy, cold showers if you’re into punishment.

⚡ Final Reminder

AI is fire. You can either:

• Burn down your house.
• Or make s’mores.

Your choice.
