I was doing a little keyword research yesterday for a video I’m planning.

It’s going to around the best, most valuable and most profitable skills you can have for the future - say the next 10 - 20 years.

In the process I read a number of articles on what the best paid jobs will be in that time - what with all the automation and A.I. that’s happening. 

I wasn’t surprised that computer based jobs were near the top (more on the creative and social side of things than the techie stuff - although that’s way up there too) 

But I was surprised - until I gave it some thought - to find that caring jobs are also going to be high on the list. 

But after a phone conversation with my parents who are 80 and 83 coming over tomorrow I understood why.

We are all living longer due to technological, medical and dietary advances.

So there’s going to be more old people than young in the not too distant future and they are going to need looking after. 

This is self evident with my own folks who although still mobile enough to travel, both have a collection of ailments, some of which are really starting to take their toll. 

That’s why I’m grateful to be able to earn my income online as this gives me a lot of time freedom - and I’m going to need that time to look after them in the near future. 

So for this reason and many others I agree with my own mentors and business partners at SFM and DEA:  Instead of thinking about jobs in future, we should be thinking more about being independent, self supporting people. 

This used to be a kind of “Pie in the sky” notion but now its reality made possible largely by the internet economy. 

Instead of working out which skills we need to acquire in order to stay in the 9-5 regime in a changing world, we should be acquiring the skills to get us the hell out of it! 

That’s what we are all doing in SFM and DEA and why co-founder Jay Kubassek launched his WAKEUP movement and brand. 

Tonight He and Stuart Ross are hosting a very special webinar where they are announcing to the entire community the next stage in the journey.
