A job that would be laughed at now.

After the first day of spring, when it is about to snow heavily, interns begin to graduate, as in previous years.

The earliest students receive job offers in January, and all graduate around July at the latest.

Someone always says, "Hey, interns, aren't they all going away?" but before you know it, new third-year students keep coming in, and soon a year goes by and you think the same thing again.

This year, as I followed their passing by my side, I suddenly wondered, "If I were a junior in college today, what would I be aiming for?

If you are a junior in college in 2025, you were born in 2003/Heisei 15, the year Roppongi Hills opened.

Topics in 2025, 1 in 7 people will be 75+ in later life, inflation/interest rates rising, continued conflict in the world, and generative AI.

Projections for 2025-20 years from now, they say that more than 60% of the jobs that exist today will be gone and new ones will be available.

Well, if there are a lot of jobs out there that I don't know about yet, I'd like to be the first one to work on them.

If you do it, you'll soon become a leading expert.

But it's a profession I haven't seen yet, and how can I find it now?

Looking into the future as it is, I was afraid that I would only project my expectations and lose my sense of reality, so I looked up the occupations that have disappeared and those that have been created in the past 20 years to seek clues.

Occupations that have disappeared: video rental store clerks, photo laboratory staff, telephone operators, CD store clerks, telephone directory producers, TV and radio repair technicians, and bank teller service personnel.

Professions that were born: data scientist, machine learning engineer, influencer, digital marketer, food delivery delivery person, crowd worker, telemedicine coordinator, work style consultant, etc.

While I certainly feel that this is true when I lay it out like this, if I had said "I'm going to be an influencer in the future" in 2003, more than 20 years ago, I would have been either laughed out loud or taken aback with a "haha".

But the funny thing is that "influencers" are very common nowadays.

I think that if the "Mere Old Man" is able to find a new job within 20 years, it will be a job that people would laugh at now.
