White collar so we're talking finance, banking, accounting, management, clerical, IT, engineering, etc. I work in finance and don't believe the destabilization will happen as quickly as people claim. I also think a lot of work that involves client interaction will be fine for a long time. Things like tax and auditing will remain human based for most of our lives going forward.
A big AI danger to me is that as experienced/older people retire they're going to almost entirely be replaced by millennials - perhaps the last generation we will have that has basic soft skills and computer literacy. Younger people at companies doing grunt work are going to be replaced by AI instead of advancing up the corporate ladder. It's gonna be us (people in their 30s) taking over. And once we go it's a wrap. So if you're in your late 20s-early 40s you need to lean on your skills HARD right now. You can read better than the average person graduating from college right now. You have better social skills. You have better problem solving skills. On average, at least. Use it to your advantage because the difference between us and these kids is STARK.
I'm not exaggerating. A lot of the college grads I interview these days are abject idiots. So if you are older do NOT feel bad about not being where you want to be. Find something you do and double down on it. You can out perform these kids.
