>>306267I've tried my hands at a general management degree (dropped out of course, was part of my go to college to semi-neet years) and have a half finished accounting certificate program under my belt as well.
What are you realistically going to do with it other than employment as well?
What solutions can you provide to what problems?
For example, in my country they (the central accounting whateverthefuck) basically declared accounting to be a dead career by 2040. As in, phased out, not existing. Most people working as small 1-man-business accountants are scrambling.
Everything is going to go digital and will be streamlined.
Worth to note that while the displacement will be gradual, if you are a newcomer to the field, similar to tech, you will be scrambling for positions against people with 10-20-30 years of experience.
Another point to that, the only hard skill of the entire general management course was accounting.
Where will you utilize soft skills and are they even worth mentioning for wizards? Realistically, again, you will be competing against normies with many years of experiences as the positions dwindle compared to supply.
I'll go on another tangent for physical labor, factory work and an aspect of this entire problem where there won't be customers able to pay.
In my country, people have been herded towards factory labor, now replaced by Chinese and Ukrainians slowly.
This meant that most of the CONSUMERS were working in international factories as laborers, or worked in positions that supplied these, logistics etc.
The second largest group of workers is various service workers, be it restaurants, small stores, big retail etc. and the positions that support these.
The third group would be government workers and the rest would likely be entertainment. Perhaps healthcare and education is a sizeable chunk too.
What does this mean? If the larger groups of earners are squeezed, displaced, unemployed, unemployable due to automation the adjacent businesses will suffer.
There is nobody to sell 1000s of $ of dental care to if nobody can afford it.
There is nobody to sell a döner kebab to if it costs 10€ now and is too pricey for most people.
Nobody goes to mcdonalds if a burger menu is 15€ and not filling.
Nobody goes to a mom-and-pop shop if they can barely afford a LIDL pastry.
You understand what I'm trying to say here? Liberal arts stuff often doesn't provide tangible value, so once the lower rank, lower skill people get fucked there won't be anyone to pay for such.
Artist are already feeling this in a major way. Nobody pays you a commission for some degenerate porn artwork if they can just sit at home and chase infinity dopamine by typing their OC into a prompter.
Hell musicians can't even sell their shit for 0.001€ per listen on stuff like spotify.
Again, you can argue that 200IQ savants can and will always make bank, but my entire post is about the average, me, the loser even
If you provide some liberal arts examples I'd be willing to indulge you further, but I can only share my thoughts.
What exactly do you mean by humantiies?
Psychology?
AI chatbots cost nothing and provide almost the same if not better value for the average normie. Real life psychologist is way too expensive for the commoner.
A general manager, or what they call in america a MBA (major business administrator? associate? idk) isn't going to be managing the 10-100-1000 AI agents.
Or at least not 1 manager for every 10 agentic workers… so culling will happen and the inevitable competition will only leave the top1% employed.
Hell even if you are a truck driver now. There are a TON of truck drivers that drive a truck as a last mile delivery boy.
If people consume less or not at all, will they need tons of these people delivering next day to some dropbox of a large webshop? Likely not. If consumption goes down even these logistics workers will be hurt.
If the small truck drivers will then go after the big international routes? More competition, less pay, again, the best of the best will stay emlpoyed.
