One of the most significant problems that the next generation will have to deal with is one created by extremely long life spans:
- People who live longer will have to work longer
- Staying in the same career over 60-70 years won’t be possible
- Many types of jobs will get wiped out
- Decisions made at a young age won’t and can’t stay valid for the rest of your life
A long-ish talk from 2018 where I discussed this: Career Choices in the Wisdom Economy:
- I spoke about the different types of wisdom
- I spoke about the problems this and the next generations will face
- I spoke about my own undergrad experience
- I spoke about my own career choices
This is something I will be thinking more about over the coming years.
