    Default The Jobs of the future: What skills should we learn now?

    Hello fellow Avalonians.

    Today I was asking myself a question, and thought it would be an interesting topic to discuss here, plus, I wouldn't mind some advice.

    First some context:

    I'm a sound technician, by profession and passion. Inside my lair of cables and speakers I delve into the infinite secrets of frequency arranging. I take pride on knowing a good deal about my field, and feel humbly capable to tackle preety much any sound-related challenge. I'm preety young, and I don't think I have peaked in my career nor my knowledge, at all (theres always more when talking about frequencies and it's magic), but I believe I don't get that much learning out of my regular experience anymore. I don't want to stop doing it. It is my passion and my job, and I wish to absolutely master it with time, getting top tier gigs more regularly and experimenting, which I'm in the process of. But I still find myself with some free time, wanting to diversify, to broaden my knowledge, and improve as a person, learning new things, through experience or study, as everyone imho should do. Most of the time I find myself experimenting or tinkering. Mechanics, handy stuff, prepping-useful knowledge, some agriculture even in spring-summer... But I wanna commit to fully learning a bigger thing again. (Like I did with sound before)

    I absolutely despise the "Jack of all trades, master of none." phrase.

    Enough of myself

    The question here is: What do you feel is the most useful and profitable skill to develop for the current and coming years?

    Google tells me its stuff like machine learning, data analytics, New energy engineer, Smart Cities and smart homes architect and engineer, Cybersecurity expert, New materials engineer... all the agenda 2030 goodies basically.

    And there is this EU satistics thingy:
    https://www.cedefop.europa.eu/en/tools/skills-intelligence/future-jobs?year=2022-2035&country=EU27#2

    I believe the best to be something that will hit these 3 points, as sound engineering did before for me:
    - Economically profitable.
    - Helps you unravel and understand the secrets of nature and spirit
    - Practical, even without the rule of law.

    (agriculture it is i guess?)

    Thanks!

    First thing, ignore everything google points you to, unless you are on their left-hand path.

    For a very long time, being a plumber was a wise option but the new equivalent to that, I think, is food production. BUT, there's a lot that comes with making that commitment because the current rulers of the world are in the process of trying to stamp out all independent, non compliant dissident food production so you will have to muscle up on a whole bunch of skills to defend that.

    We are in a war so do some research into how people in the past survived occupation and persecution. The main thing I see in how they survived was Community and a very special kind of community. A 'Resistance Movement'.

    You say you want to be able to make money but pretty soon the only money will be digitally locked up in a package of I.D. and credit scoring. Outside that system the only commerce will be value trading in goods and skills etc.

    Maybe you are not committed to that and want to stay inside the digital economy. If so, I'm not the right one to say how to do that well and I don't believe a choice to go that way will last very long anyway and you will end up on the outside of that system but starting late.

    From your write up it sounds like you have a definite 'engineering brain'. However, I sincerely believe that the industries you've mentioned, whilst currently rising like mammoths will begin to crumble over the next few years and many will fall into an abyss like we've never seen. Just my intuition and I could be wrong of course but from everything I've studied over the past 20 years (much of it here on Avalon), all I can see is that there are macro-quantum changes happening in the cosmos which I think may turn the entire world on its head.

    With such an 'engineering brain', perhaps you'd consider getting involved in deep-level frequency HEALING. What's certain is that the population is sicker than it's ever been and we're now looking at a global epidemic of autoimmune illness, incurable 'syndromes', choked and chronically toxic bodies and frightening turbo cancers. As the allopathic/mainstream 'healthcare' system is advancing all of this, I believe it's only a question of time before the masses realise what's going on and come running for alternatives.

    There are many wondrous and highly efficacious systems out there which really work. I've personally been learning spooky2 rife over the past 18 months. Its applications and possibilities are vast and if desired, can genuinely involve a lifelong learning journey. Software will handle over 50 generators so technically you can treat 50 people at the same time. This can be done remotely as you only need people's DNA which goes into a remote 'scalar port'. This is just one example.....

    Then this this sort of thing below, Non Linear Scanning devices which came out of Russian military research. First time I was treated with one of these, I coughed up a parasite the next morning!

    https://npdinternational.com/wp-cont...les-edited.pdf

    These machines ^ are commercially available under the names 'Metahunter', 'Biophillia', 'Physiospect' and others. There's a guy in our town owns this tech and I can tell you, he doesn't have enough hours in the day to see the people who want his services.

    I could go on.........fields of research such as Professor Peter Gariaev's findings on 'Wave Genetics' and laser encoding are the future of healing in my opinion and when allopathy falls, I think it will fall hard.

    Bottom line, the day's coming where I think ALOT of people will chasing these solutions. You may be very busy.........

    Hello I am B
    To answer your question, “What do you feel is the most useful and profitable skill to develop for the current and coming years?

    I would answer with, follow your passion … do what brings you joy, because that unleashes the greatest amount of creativity within you.

    I think the coming years will require a huge amount of healing/balancing of the physical body… especially through sound and light applications. In the healthcare industry, we are barely touching the scope of healing possibilities.

    A case in point:

    About 30 years ago, I was invited to a private audience with the Bach Society of Saint Louis for a symphony at the Cathedral Basilica of Saint Louis. People have expressed their religious experience and/or spiritual awakening after such events from across the world in sister basilica cathedrals. Indeed, on that occasion, I experienced a tremendous amount of energy shooting up my spine, goose bumps, hairs standing up, etc. If I did not know any better I would have said that this was the spirit of God moving within me (perhaps it was). I was however of a scientific mind, probing for many years already into the use of the body as a transformative machine to spiritual awakening, aka the kundalini awakening.

    I had already been prepared in knowledge about the golden ratio architecture within the cathedrals. These Fibonacci ratios were not only observed in plan view on the floor (ratio of transept to nave for example) but also and in particular, within the design and architecture of the domed and arched ceilings, meant to mimic the structure of the palate or roof of the mouth. The feeling of the reverberation from the choir hymns echoing off the ceilings and sides of the cathedral was nothing short of AWESOME! The master musicians knew exactly what they were doing; pairing Handel, Mozart with the same architecture from which the music was sourced: the human palette. The effect was an amazing display of sound engineering, amplifying and reverberating through the human spine!!

    I am convinced that with a little effort, perhaps with incense filling a church one would be able to map the nodal and high amplitude pressure sound waves in a 3 dimensional array inside the church while a choir was singing. After this was performed then a series of sound recorders could be strategically placed on scaffolding inside the church. The analogue recording would be, instead of mere stereo… you would have many channels truly 3 dimensional resonance that could be digitally mimicked and enhanced for music health therapy.

    This is only one idea of how sound frequencies could help transform the human body to a more optimal state. I am certain your field will lead to evolutionary upgrades in application and resulting satisfying and prosperous career.

    Farm in Russia.

    World rulers are definitely not trying to help was-Monsanto continue to patent and manipulate nature.

    Some probably are, like that guy in Ukraine, but, outside of the useful idiots, this is not a going thing.

    Basics like farming and plumbing will never go away. I have little confidence in newer subjects; most of the people I heard of going to school recently were into 3D animation, and not much else. It reaches a tipping point. Even with more traditional education, even if you are an Art major, that doesn't mean you have any future in the world of art. It's for the education to make you a more complete person.

    My art classes helped me in that way. I never took CAD or any of the "technical" versions, which, I don't think would help me much.

    I have a dread that most of the less-educational technical or trade programs are themselves just marketing efforts, selling school as a business. Such as Power Plant mechanics, I looked into that, and, you can get the certificate relatively easily, and then you will get a job in that field when someone dies.

    Look at it this way. I don't want a robot. What will I personally pay for? Food and plumbing. If that's not what you do, I have nothing for you.

    The issue of whether work is profitable depends a lot on the cost of housing doesn't it?

    That is a huge issue, it is why we are *forced* into wage servitude. This house was made from the trees on the lot. But thanks to Covid, the county decided to raise our taxes by 53%. This is not a token payment folks, it's straight extortion, repression of the human being, and loss of the profits of productivity and labor.

    I have heard of rents jumping drastically as well. New example is that you sign a lease with company X, who then folds and is acquired by company Y, who sends out a little note "more money please". You sit in an office and demand money. Completely non-productive. The "best" jobs are completely non-productive, if not outright responsible for sinking otherwise viable companies.

    I wish I had an answer, I wish I knew some skill that was worth clamoring "come one, come all", but whenever something is very specialized, you are locked into the pros and cons of exactly that thing. When I was young, I heard my first news about one of the early networking companies--Northern Telecom I believe--laying off 500 people. That was supposed to represent the height of development at that time. My parents explained about unemployment benefits, the possibility of finding related work, and then were forced to admit that unemployment or under-employment was probably what awaited a fair number of those people.

    I learned failure before I ever heard of success.

    Then I discovered I was opposed to most industries.

    Now half of the purpose of the Avalon website is to shape the future the way we would like it to be, rather than that which is forced on us. Same kind of question, and, I haven't found the answer yet, or even a starting point. And yet my grandfather was one of the first sound engineers in the world, at least in terms of television. He literally built the first broadcast tower for hundreds of miles. How? The G. I. Bill, it was a way to train soldiers in civilian jobs, which is more or less how the world of electronics got started, around 1947, out of Louisville, Kentucky, of all places. That is how I knew the evils of advertising as well as what we might be called "Operation Mockingbird" or the "plans of the globalists" from tender years. Just watching it unfold. For example, he told me, not in the exact words, but same thing as an LCD screen, by or before 1980.

    At that time, then, yes, I would say "sound engineer" was new and progressive, along with other roles that are probably obsolete now.

    Right now there is a test run at the Port of Los Angeles where they are competing between hydrogen and battery-powered transfer trucks. I think batteries will lose, fast. The only obstacle to Hydrogen Economy is cost-effectiveness. Otherwise, the internal combustion engine was designed for hydrogen fuel, and this is what the Chinese are using, for a few years now.

    I could go on about Brown's Gas and on-board electrolysis.

    To me, personally, I would *like* to see the development of "cheap hydrogen", because this is a proven system, and, I am still curious about the Low Energy Nuclear Reaction. Just on a moral ground, I would recommend, then, expertise in these lines. Just energy. If you haven't, try a few pages of Wade Frazier's thread. He spends a lot of time explaining how differently we would live if we weren't so burdened by the cost of energy.

    My interest does not make a functioning industry offering jobs, so, I have never pursued my own ideas.

    As of recently I am also going to say Medical Plasma. We have some posts on this under Kordylewski Clouds. What is less than ironic is we found that at least *twice* in the 70s, the CIA reported the Soviets were into this, and recommended we should get into it. But guess what? All related federal funding was used for the "weaponized" aspects, such as mind reading, telekinesis, pyrokinesis, and so forth. It seems to be *only* since 2015 that Deepak Chopra and a number of other authors composed a paper that basically validated "proof of concept" for western countries. Now there are a few minor projects in different states.

    Those are just my personal "future insights", fuel and plasma, which does nothing in terms of employment.

    Looting.
    Work on your looting skills. Maybe join a black lives matter protest or two so you can work on the fundamentals.

    And then there is gas siphoning.
    That is a good one to know.

    Hot wiring a car. That's a good one.

    If you have ever thought about starting a cult now is a good time.

    I recall looking out my window during the covid lockdown, noticing all the squirrels scurrying around out there, and I had the thought that should all this result in some kind of anarchic apocalypse, killing and eating squirrels might be the only way for a helpless idiot like me to survive.

    So, a skill I might emphasize is how to catch and cook squirrels. If you can do both you might be in high demand should the sh!t hit the fan in the near future.

    When the SHTF look at the Amish lifestyle and their ability to get things done, by hand using oldschool tools and methods



    They build, grow food, raise animals for food and work, they will not struggle like most of us when things go to chit.
    BTW i have no wish to be an Amish, they just know stuff.

    Wilderness survival and self defense.
    In 1966, James Paul McCartney was killed in a car crash and replaced with a double; a session musician by the name William Shears Campbell. (aka Billy Shears) It was and still remains the biggest kept secret in music.

    However, I think it is easier to learn to catch a fish (and more politically correct)
    Is every mind connected to form a peer to peer network that creates the illusion of a shared reality, making the appearance of material reality a simulation created through shared beliefs?

    Designing certain frequencies that help plants grow? In a world where chemical fertilizers may no longer exist, it will be helpful to have tools for gardeners/homesteaders to use. Many of those involved in futurist work like Dr. Helen Wambach, Dr. Chet Snow, Lyn Buchanan, Penny Kelly, etc. all describe the 21st century societies as very agrarian before the year 2050.
    Plasma is also a great field to get into or invest in (while it's still viable to invest). Investment opportunities that I would look into is any companies that create or drill for the raw materials (like inert gases) for plasma. Plasma can also be used to grow food, as it has an intelligence that wants to bring things to homeostasis.

    That is exactly what I meant.

    In two ways, actually, since I found out that "homeostasis" is a medical term with a rather specific meaning. Here I am going to sing the praises of Cayenne. As it was said in major American publications of the 1820s and then removed. I had to get an operation for my goat. It was risky and there was a lot of bleeding. We gave him cayenne and it seemed to stop it up. But it will also loosen clots. It will decrease pressure where it is too high, and send the blood to organs that are wanting. This is the meaning of "homeostasis", it balances all the useful functions. Plus it takes effect fast. You should always have some.

    Plasma is a quite new-to-us way of doing similar things and more.

    On the other hand, it works great as a disinfectant.

    In fact, so many kinds of plasma have been determined, that old phrases like "cold dark plasma" used to describe the Kordylewski Clouds are no longer adequate, since both of those words have two or more meanings. It is so technical we just don't have standard names for the variety.

    There are liquid plasmas, and solid ones. One guy managed to levitate a ring in ordinary atmosphere with just something like a silicon plate and some distilled water.

    It is truly *not* the same as what is seen in Kirlian photography.

    It is not only inside you, it is not a great stretch of the imagination to say it *is* you.

    My guess is there is more future well-being down this avenue than others.

    Wow if combine all the answers in this thread until now, we already got such a wealth of information.

    answering the OP question "The Jobs of the future: What skills should we learn now?"

    Here is how I see and feel about it, so take it as it is, nothing is 100% sure in this life, what works now does not mean will work tomorrow or later. I would stick with anything perennial, things that survived along the time and probably will survive in future generations. I say that because I am not involved with the rat race anymore, left it several years ago, so I am not a specialist or expert on anything anymore, but I am not a dumber either, so in terms of skills I can survive in the jungle for as long as I wish, I want to learn skills to survive in the snow and the desert, that would be my next endeavor in terms of skills, when I mean survive I mean in the general broader sense of the word, like build shelter, gather food, water, fire, hunt, make traps, etc, etc, and etc..

    The digital realm that relies on the analog base is just a level deeper in the matrix, where everything is tightly controlled, anyone that becomes a top-notch in their fields are quickly brought to attention, be it government agencies, military or large corpo, there is no escape, so you either agree and work for them or work for yourself (in that case all sort of walls will have to be broken). If you refuse to play the game in the end they steal "your hard work" and give all the glory and fame to someone else that plays along (Tesla case).

    So tell me how to improve humankind if the great work is always shattered into pieces and/or hidden from general public..

    Good luck for anyone trying to climb to the peak of the digital world, enjoy the journey, billions of people are lost into this realm right now, they got no clue whatsoever, the hypnotic trance (theta waves 4-7.5Hz) is so powerful that it works perfectly to keep the masses in constant state of hypnosis. Plant ideologies into their subconscious mind and let them access it at later time via theta waves, the human experiment is a great mess, sorry folks I can't contribute much more than that.

    Wow, that was a great deal of answers. Thanks to everyone.

    I get that hard times are coming. As I mentioned, I'm a prepper myself, and have been putting more and more effort into it lately, and the skillset around it. (funny enough that you mentioned, some weeks ago I managed to hotwire my parent's van because the key plug got busted)

    Still, in my humble opinion, everyone should be "a prepper", and have at least a few of those "minor?" skills. That isn't exactly what I'm asking for. Its more in terms of bringing value to the world, and having those skills that will be in high demand in the future, despite the fact that it may likely (or not) involve harder events of history. For example, the use of new hydrogen motors, unlimited sources of energy like Wade says, new materials being discovered, and all the new areas that could come up in the distant or not so distant future.

    If I asked this question 20 years ago, I guess one of the best answers would have been telecommunications, or programming. Yes, this areas have been heavily influenced by the elites etc., but it doesn't change the face that there has been crazy amounts of developments on it, and despite the evil use it has been put to, there is also plenty of value that can be taken from it if used ethically.

    If the world as we know it is to come to an end, there will still be an after.

    YES,there will be an AFTER! (like always)

    BUT,without electricity watch this: https://projectavalon.net/forum4/sho...=1#post1604781

    and a lurking geological "RESET" (every 12.000 years) and I want to believe in human mental sanity and therefor NO nuclear war...

    Whatever from this 3 events should happen in the next 20/30 years (Creator forbid all 3!) the survivors will find themself in isolate pockets across the planet...
    No communication, no travel and so on ...

    Humanity will be left near Stone Age again...if you ask a group from 100 people today what are their skills/jobs probably you get 1 Engineer, 1 Doctor /Nurse,1 Artist
    1 security/police/military, 1Lawyer ,10 handwork ,the rest students and employee in cubicles ...

    Well, I'm pessimist ? NO, I'm REALIST !

    Just 1of those BAD EVENTS and there will be not a sci-fi world until the next 10.000 years...

    That´s why I posted Hunter-gatherer first at all!...second everything related to "repair"
    the human body and third every "handy" work and then will see...

    Remember the Albert Einstein quote?

    I don't know how they will fight WW3 but I know how they will be fighting WW4...

    With sticks and stones...

    With that in mind what occupation would you choose?
