Lessons on Future Employment, as Observed by a Father
Hey there! So, I had my college grad son on the podcast the other day, and it was a killer convo. You know who else is graduating next year? The class of 2025 - yup, you heard it right. These folks grew up with AI, and they don't just use it to knock out their assignments - they practically live it.
So I got to thinking, this new generation is gonna be stepping into the workforce with an AI-fueled mindset. They'll be prototyping ideas, streamlining workflows, and writing code like it's NBD. For them, AI isn't a novelty, it's just another tool in their creativity toolbox.
Now here's the kicker, these kids aren't upright struggling with AI - they're thriving in it. They don't get too attached to one tool or platform, instead, they're constantly on the move, learning, testing, and evolving. They're adaptable, agile, and they're ready to shake things up.
A few things we talked about that got me thinking:
- Their tech stack ain't like ours - it's built for the future. These digital natives are already using AI tools like ChatGPT and Cursor like they were born with 'em.
- The way they work is gonna change the game. These folks aren't gonna settle for old-school processes. They're not afraid to challenge the status quo and push for innovative solutions.
- They expect AI to be everywhere, not just on their desktops. These younger cats see AI as a daily partner, not a productivity accessory. They expect AI to be seamlessly integrated into their work lives.
Now, there's no denying that this is a whole new ballgame for us older folk. But it ain't a threat - it's an opportunity. With this new generation comes a chance to rethink everything we do, to redefine how we work and lead. Companies that are open to transformation will be the ones that thrive in this AI-driven future.
So, ready to join me on this ride? Let's grab a coffee and chat about what this new era means for us, shall we? Oh, and for those of you playing at home, here's a hint: the future ain't something we're waiting for - it's already here.
In the forthcoming years, the AI-native generation, like the class of 2025, will bring a digital-focused talent pool to the future of work, seamlessly integrating AI tools such as ChatGPT and Cursor into their day-to-day roles, redefining business processes and reshaping the landscape of finance, technology, education-and-self-development. To keep pace with this AI-driven future, it's crucial for businesses to invest in digital transformation, exploring new avenues that capitalize on this fresh talent pool and remain competitive in the rapidly evolving business environment.
