工作：现在在美国找工作，有什么值得注意的大趋势

What is a trend that is happening in the United States job sector that I can take advantage of right now?Christopher Ordway, works at Rite Aid PharmacyAnswered Jan 27 · Upvoted by Isabella Newman, Female President at The United States of America (2017-pres…I’ll just tell you what I’m noticing as someone living in California.Millennials want to go to college, pay a ton of money and get a degree, and get a cushy office job. If you try to compete with this kind of job, you might be ok, but you better be on your game and ready to compete. There are a lot of Asians coming in and are very competitive in this scenario. Over the next several decades it is estimated there will be a lot more Asians (more than any other demographic increase) and any professional/office job that looks attractive to you is probably going to look attractive to the 2 billion Asians in India/China/wherever that would like to come to the US. This might sound anti Asian or whatever, I’m just going by the facts and using common sense here.On top of the increased Asian immigration over the coming decades, technology will make it easier all the time to outsource white collar work. If you can have someone work on a computer, why not have someone in India do it from their computer? Why not have your engineering team in Japan engineer it? It’s only been recently that the internet has been fast enough to offer telecommuting so we’ll see where this ends up when we have things like virtual reality enabling even more global interconnectedness over the coming decades.The next thing to note is that we’ve had many technological revolutions in the last 100 years and most of them have begun in the US. The first telephone, alternating current leading to the electrification of the home, toilets, flight at Kittyhawk, Henry Ford’s assembly line and the ubiquitization of automobiles, the television, the interstate road system, personal computers, cell phones, the internet, etc. In fact there have been many innovations that improved productivity that people don’t even recognize for being as impactful as they are. Ok but what’s the next big thing? I have a theory that we’re pretty much out of low hanging fruit to create wealth. Will there be innovations that make people rich? Sure. But as far as innovations that make EVERYBODY richer? It’s not clear what that’ll be, or when. Apple seems to not have any more “one more things “as Steve Jobs would say. Maybe some super improvement in battery technology or fusion that enables a green revolution but I’ll believe it when I see it. 3D printing? Useful but it hasn’t seemed to live up to the hype so far. Moore’s Law is ending soon or already over depending on who you ask.So how do you take advantage of this? Well I would steer clear of white collar jobs that are easily offshoreable, stay clear of jobs that require a lot of money to get into and might not be around in 5 or 10 years.In the last couple of months I’ve paid $1,200 to fix something on my roof, $3000 to do some electrical wiring and piping in my kitchen, $550 to yank out old cabinets, $2,000 to lay down some tile. Some of these people are just doing it as a side job under the table tax free. They didn’t have to go to school or go into a lot of debt to learn to do these trades and they’re making good money. There’s no way to offshore these jobs and the more white collar people there are that don’t know how to do these themselves, the more they’ll be worth. If you ever want to get out of it, you can hire people to work for you and run a business doing it.
