Jobs In The Next 10-20 Years From Now

Matt from Henderson

Hi Everyone, Matt here. I do not know if anyone is going to say this but I will. I am going to say that a majority of the jobs and work places will be automated or taken over by robots in years ahead. I am saying this because of what the uncertainty of what is happening around the world to do … View moreHi Everyone, Matt here. I do not know if anyone is going to say this but I will. I am going to say that a majority of the jobs and work places will be automated or taken over by robots in years ahead. I am saying this because of what the uncertainty of what is happening around the world to do with technology. We think Ipads, Iphones, etc we have now just the thing. Wait in years to come. This is not just a matter of how but when. Yes, I have to say that no one's job will be safe in years to come. Every job you go to now, well I believe, when you go visit a job to see if anything is available, the person you speak to either the employee or manager to see if any jobs are available, their response will be is "Oh you will have to apply online, to see if anything is available". I'm not saying that 'all' workplace people would say this but I'd say a majority would.

Am I saying this is to scare anyone out of their jobs? No, but need to be aware of what work could like in these coming years. Am I saying this because of what I am saying? No, if no one wants to believe or read what I have said, search for yourselves online and do your own research to see what your job could be like or if it is still around in the near future.

I am sure if technology takes over the workplace I am sure that there will replacement jobs such as being a AI technician or repairer. I wonder what our next generation of our children are going to do for work when AI or technology take over the job market.

We do need to get our heads around this sooner rather than later because we just don't know what will happen around the corner.

Something for all of us to seriously think about.

Matt

SPCA Auckland needs families to take in farm animals

Overrun by animals, the Auckland SPCA is asking for foster families to take on farm animals including horses, goats and chickens. From June to September this year, 20 farm animals have been fostered. There are more farm animals ready to go, but there are no homes for them to go to.

"Our foster parents are volunteers and provide a temporary home for animals to help them recover from surgery, give them medicine for an illness, or work with them to improve their behaviour," the spokesperson says. "We are looking for foster parents who have enough secure land and shelter to house farm animals, and high enough fencing - especially for goats - to keep them safe."

Typically, foster parents will look after an animal from a few weeks up to a few months, or sometimes longer. The Auckland centre has very limited room, and farm animals need more space.

"Farm animals need lots of room and land to be happy, healthy and express natural behaviours, and there is simply not enough room at the Auckland centre to give them this - especially when we have a high number of animals in our care."

Fostering is free, and SPCA supplies food, vet treatment and support for the foster family. For more information head to the SPCA's website.
