The 9-to-5 jobs are dying.

By 2034, there will be a massive slowdown in 9-to-5 jobs.

This is what: Reid Hoffman, founder of Linkedin, predicts.

Before, we dismiss this as "yet another" prediction, we should know, that he predicted correctly:-

[1] Rise of Social Media in 1997.

[2] Rise of sharing economy (he invested in AirBnB).

[3] Predicted the rise of Al much before ChatGPT.

More important question is: what happens when 9-to-5 go extinct? And, how to prepare for this change?

[1] Ability to monetise your skills would be essential

[2] This requires a "generalist" knowledge, with expertise in field X (any field of your choice)

[3] Example: a Software Engineer, who can sell has much better odds of doing point #1 compared to just a Software Engineer.

[4] More skills you have--- better your odds are of doing #1

[5] The rise of gig economy also means that: you won't have a regular salary. Some months you will make crazy money. Some months would be slow.

[6] So learning how to invest becomes critical to manage your risk, cash flows.

[7] More global knowledge= more opportunities

[8] With no office culture, loneliness will peak. People would form online communities/rise of structured networking events.
