Don't associate with massively insecure people. They're so insecure that it's a mental íllness.

8. Most people only keep you around because of what they can get from you. As soon as you loose that "usefulness", they'll disappear from your life.

If you're an adult and you don't know how to cook anything, you need to fix that. And every parent should be teaching kids to cook from when they're little. It's a life skill, not an option.

It's wild that you have so many young guys there complaining about a lack of good jobs (trade and professional), but they ignore trucking. They would rather be dealers apparently than drive a truck. And if cheap foreign labor was dominant, then Brexit should have made them take those opportunities. That's what happens whenever the US clears a bunch of cheap labor illegals out of a company.

Jobs/VacanciesRe: Some Jobs That Will Soon Be Gone For Good by Cousin9999: 2:50pm On Sep 27, 2021
mrksquare:
Some of the jobs that may be obsolete in the western world in few years time, may not go into extinction in Africa.

If the first industrial revolution that brought about mechanisation of agriculture didn't take a foothold in Africa, how much more the fifth industrial revolution.

Our developmental pace is in reverse direction in Africa.
You could say the same about South America, and all of Asia.
Jobs/VacanciesRe: Some Jobs That Will Soon Be Gone For Good by Cousin9999: 2:38pm On Sep 27, 2021
4kelly4handsome:
1. Taxi Drivers:
With the increasing popularity of rideshare apps like Uber and Lyft, the traditional taxi driver who works for a taxi Company faces extinction.
Rideshare companies suffer from a host of problems that taxis don't. The companies actually complement each other by filling in gaps. It's more likely that each business will change the nature of the other, not wipe the other out. It's like saying planes or trains will eliminate buses. That's just not reality.

2. Bank Tellers:
When was the last time you walked into a physical bank and conducted a financial
service with a bank teller? Automation
and artificial intelligence is quickly replacing this long-standing job.
No technology is smart or secure enough to totally replace this kind of human involvement. Every bank fraud criminal born, regulation created, and etc makes X amount of tellers necessary.

3. Cashiers:
There may always be a need for one or two cashiers in a store for price check issues and other common purchasing problems, but the standard cashier jobis in danger. Self-checkout machines and the move towards digital currency are quickly automating the jobs of cashiers.
Some people may prefer a cashier because they're:

-elderly and want physical help
-a parent with a bunch of kids at the store
-multitasking
-tired/típsy/lazy
-chatty and like to socialize with the cashier and others as they shop
-people who reject technology
-concerned about messing something up or missing out on deals

Machines also break, need maintenance, or can be too expensive for some. In some parts of the world, people mostly shop in stalls, and those folks definitely aren't using self-checkout.

Thus, cashiers aren't disappearing any time soon.

4. Telemarketer:
While most of us cheer the idea of
telemarketers going away, this doesnt mean we will no longer receive unsolicited phone calls. Currently, most of the telemarketing calls are conducted by automation and Switched over to a person
Ultimately, we're talking about sales. You can't automate the very human and psychological process of sales, only improve it and expand it with technology. Unless people stop talking on the phone, telemarketing will survive.

5. Dispatchers: (except emergency services) Dispatchers for typical service industry jobs such as plumbers, taxi drivers, and other services are quickly being replaced by automation.
No machine or tech alone is smart enough to do this. It introduces too many serious problems.

6. Watch repairers: there are two significant concerns with the watch repair jobs that are still in existence. First, many people are switching over to smartwatches that integrate with their phones. Any issues with smartwatches are usually too complex for a traditional watch repairer, so these watches must go back to the manufacture. Second, as automation replaces many in the manufacturing industry, traditional watches tend to get cheaper while watch repair costs are increasing
Some people pay tens of thousands of dollars for mechanical watches. Your favorite rapper is constantly flashing a mechanical watch, and millions of people want one (even a fake) just like it. It even seems to be trending because quite a few new makers have appeared. So jobs may shrink substantially, but not disappear.

7. Printing press operators:
Printed media is a quickly dying medium.
While magazines and newspapers are still printed in small quantities, the next five years will show a massive push to strictly digital content. The printing press operators will still be needed for some required publications, but their overall numbers will be all but obsolete.
Digital publications are awesome, but there are many uses for literature that make a physical copy way more practical, useful, and desirable than digital. People also like the experience of printed media, collecting it, sharing it, displaying it, and designing it. It will shrink, but not disappear.

8. Bus Drivers: Driverless vehicles are becoming much more common, and we are sure public transportation is soon to follow Traditional bus drivers will soon be replaced by driverless transportation to increase efficiency and lower government Costs.
The technology is nowhere near where it needs to be for this to happen.

9. Librarians: With the move towards digital media and libraries turning to self serve kiosks, the traditional librarian role is quickly disappearing. With the move towards digital media and libraries turning to self serve kiosks, the traditional librarian role is quickly disappearing
This is totally wrong. Someone with this training and knowledge is necessary to manage all that material and those resources. The change in media format makes no difference. In fact, they're even more necessary considering the exponential increase in media.
Jobs/VacanciesRe: What Are The Necessary Skills Every Engineering Student Should Have by Cousin9999: 1:57pm On Sep 27, 2021
1. You should be curious enough to want to take random machines apart and rebuild them. But definitely don't do that without researching it first.

2. You should be passionate enough to have personal projects going. It can be anything, a robot or a cooking appliance.

3. If you don't like math, you better learn to enjoy its beauty.

4. You will have to code (regardless of discipline). So familiarize yourself with that. Your specialization will determine just how much you have to do.

You won't be disappointed.

Also, think about what you can create specifically for Nigeria. It doesn't even have to be amazing. It could be various mods to existing technology.

Can the average hawker even afford tools to accept that? And what will they do about fraud? Unless the government is giving out free tablets, free software, and free payment processing, how is that going to work?

ETA: Hawkers shouldn't be victims of this goofy policy. They're hardworking people unlike the crooked politicians who came up with this.
