Jobs will only become more and more obsolete

Guess what? More than likely, your job will soon be eliminated. Maybe not necessarily within the time that you are working that job, but in the future, most jobs will be obsolete. Technology is just continuing to grow at an exponential rate and computers are taking over jobs. Here are some of the jobs that, in my opinion, will never become obsolete:

- IT people. All the technology we keep using will always break and need fixing. This is probably the most promising of all future careers.

- ID people. Industrial designers, that is. People are going to keep creating stuff, and are going to keep needing people to help them figure out how to make it.

- Business managers. For some reason, Americans have this weird hierarchy obsession, and there always has to be a boss of a boss of a boss’s boss. That is just a part of business politics that I don’t think is going away anytime soon.

- Celebrities. Come on, you really think people will stop over-caring about what is going on with Britney Spears? No way. It is only going to get worse. And it is very easy to become a celebrity now. Just watch out for the next latest reality TV filming in your local area.

- Psychiatrists. Everyone loves psychiatrists, and everyone wants to be one. They give you legal drugs that make you feel good, and they tell you that all your worries are okay and normal because you are a tortured soul ever since childhood. I think about 45% of the people I have ever met and asked what they are majoring in say psychology. Good thing most everyone in the world is crazy.

- Pharmaceutical people. Maybe I am wrong about this one, but it seems to me that the drug industry has the world by its balls. And people love their drugs. People trust drugs more than they trust doctors – which is why doctors isn’t on this list. This will be the only industry that seems to somehow still run on brain dead human labor in auto-pilot mode.

I think the future is pretty bleak as far as jobs go, and this recession is only the beginning. I think it will be full of humungous businesses and self-employed entrepreneurs. Most people will do work involving technology or human feel-good stuff. There won’t be much that doesn’t involve comfort or convenience. Soon, computers will take all that over. If you don’t have REAL talent, REAL skills (answering phones is not a skill) or REAL strong ideas, you will be swallowed up into the pit of dumb consumers who contribute nothing. This is how humans will need to evolve in order to survive the artificial intelligence era. We will simply need to become more intelligent.

Oddly enough.... the weird dreams continue.

This is strange. This was the worst dream I have had in a long time. But it reminds me of the Marisa Tomei dream. I wonder what is going on in my head???

This dream was seriously terrifying.

I was up on some balcony hanging out with my mom. It was cold and kinda foggy, just like in the Marisa Tomei dream. We were eating some kind of snack chatting about stuff. In my dream, this was our everyday thing that we did all the time. I suppose I had just gotten a brand new Guess watch to go with the new Guess coat I got (in real life I really did get a new Guess coat but not a watch), when suddenly, I got all paralyzed. I couldn't talk or move. I couldn't really think either. I wanted to tell my mom that I was feeling weird, but I couldn't. I didn't panic, instead I felt like I was just thinking and moving much slower. My mom was saying something and I wasn't responding, but she was not concerned. She must have thought I was just being my strange self, or staring into space or something. After a minute or so I was able to finally say really slowly, "I think something is wrong with me..." She then walked all casually over to the balcony railing and confidently said, "Nothing is wrong with you..." I knew she was going to start saying something about her own personal philosophy about why I think something is wrong with me and she hopped up to sit on the edge of the railing. I knew then that she was going to fall. And she did. She fell about 3 stories and I heard her screaming. I saw her crash onto the sidewalk and she was still screaming and crying. I started getting hysterical and knew I didn't have my cell phone on me to call 911. I started running down the stairs to her, but I knew I would need a phone. I grabbed her purse and figured I'd use her phone. I ran all the way down so so so fast, screaming "NO! NO! MOMMY!!" She was laying on the sidewalk, I could see that she couldn't breathe. I dug through her phone and told her I was going to call 911, but I didn't see her phone in her purse. I told her I was going to go get the phone in the house, but she just looked at me, not breathing, and hugged me. I said "No no no my mommy-mom no! I love you!"

That was it. It reminded me of how I was unable to save Marisa Tomei in that dream before.

This is the saddest dream ever.

Hiiii....

School is starting to get more difficult and busy and so is work. My brain is just learning to death and feels like mush. I am super busy. And I am starting to get sick. I think it may be the weather because a lot of people in my math class seemed out of it today too. Not sure if it is the weather or the busy-ness. I don't even feel like I have any creative energy in me this week. Thank goodness I am going to Petoskey this weekend. It will be great to have such a break. 4 freakin days!!!!! WOO HOO!!!! I don't even know what to write about. I am eating chicken noodle soup because I feel sick. I am very tired and drained. It hurts my brain to try and think nonsense right now. This is Jenny's brain on overdrive. I got a new coat and I really like my new laptop. I think I may have to write another blog post if I want to get any kind of decent grade for it. This sucks. So, any questions?

Have a nice day.
