The world of work is changing and if you are looking to enter it for the first time it can be a pretty intimidating place.
With advancements in technology and AI occurring at a pretty scary rate in recent years it is important to look to the future when picking a career. The last thing that you want to do is to make a decision only for your chosen career to vanish a few years down the line.
In this blog we will look at some of the most future proof professions that there is no risk of becoming any less popular than they already are any time soon.
Electrician
Electricians are just as important today as they have ever been and there is certainly no sign of this profession being threatened by AI or robots anytime soon.
Tailor
An eye for the creative and a steady hand? Why not consider a career as a tailor, creating and customising clothing to fit your clients.
The skills required to become a tailor include sewing, a knowledge of fashion, and great customer service skills.
Mobile tyre fitter
If you have a passion to automobiles but don’t fancy working from the same garage day after day, why not consider a career as a mobile tyre fitter?
These experts travel across a certain area, repairing and replacing the tyres of motorists who have punctures, damaged tyres, or simply need a new set of wheels on their vehicles.
You will constantly be on the move on a daily basis and have the pleasure of helping those in need to get safely off the roadside and back on the move.
Just because you aren’t technically located in a garage, doesn’t mean you need any less skills as a mechanic however, and you will still need to put the hard years in both during training and in your every day responsibilities.
Plumber
Plumbers keep the world flowing freely and remain one of the most sought after and valued trades in the world. Qualify as a plumber and you are busy for life.
Look at it this way, we all need plumbers at some point and you would be a little cheesed off if you had a blocked sink and there was no-one to call.
Plumbing installation, plumbing repairs, blocked drainage, all issues that occur up and down the nation every single day.
Become the problem solver who fixes these issues and you will be a popular person indeed with customers in your local area.
Carpenter
Yes, even in a world of factories and manufacturing machines, carpenters remain in high demand. This isn’t only a job for those born into the profession either, if you are skilled with your hands and have a knack for picking things up quickly a life of wood working could be exactly what you are looking for. There are many routes into this profession as well including apprenticeships, college courses and more depending on where you live in the country.
