This is a very good inteview. It talks about several labor-related and economic issues that will be extremely important in the coming years. Chief among them: the criticality of marketing. In a world where things get easier to produce, convincing people to buy them becomes crucial. It also touches on how autodidactism will essentially be required as required skills&#x2F;technologies continue to change quickly and information is abundant - but motivation is still a scarce resource. This also reinfoces that the old idea of &quot;go to college, get job, never have to worry about learning again&#x2F;just focus on your interests or personal relationships&quot; or whatever should be considered a relic of a dead era.<p>My picks for jobs of the future: software developers in general, and robot developers in particular; robot hardware designers and maintainers; politicians; business owners&#x2F;managers; &quot;personal service&quot; assistant types; and marketers. As things progress, today&#x27;s equivalent of &quot;telephone sanitizers&quot; will vanish, and the job market will only get more polarized and become hypercompetitive.
