How can I prepare my career to stay secure and adaptable as AI continues to change the job market?
I’m in my mid-30s, currently working in music education and creative projects, but I’m considering shifting into a more stable, in-demand field like therapy, psychology, or speech-language pathology. I want to make sure whatever career path I invest in won’t be easily automated by AI. What skills, industries, or strategies should I focus on now to stay employable and relevant long-term?

I have had the privilege of working with many successful students over the past three decades, and I think I can provide some insight regarding the path that many of them took to becoming a successful and avoiding the future onset of the “AI Revolution.”. I tend to agree with David Epstein's conclusions in his book "Range" where he concluded that successful athletes, artists, musicians, inventors, forecasters and scientists, and most other fields, were generalists, and not specialists.
Generalists often find their path late, and they juggle many interests rather than focusing on one. They’re also more creative, more agile, and able to make connections their more specialized peers can’t see. In todays world, it is an advantage to be strong or talented in many different fields, so if one disappears, as a result of AI, you can slide into another without any disruptions in your career path.
For example, if you look at athletics, you will observe that Epstein was correct in his observations, when he uses the example of tennis star Roger Federer. He uses the contrasting examples of Roger Federer and Tiger Woods to illustrate this point. Federer, explored various sports as a young athlete before focusing on tennis, which exemplifies the benefits of a broad background, while Woods, who specialized early in golf, represents the traditional "specialist" path.
Federer practiced and participated in skiing, wrestling, swimming, skateboarding, basketball, handball, table tennis, badminton, and soccer. He really could have done a variety of directions, before he decided to focus on tennis
Many successful people do not specialize in one sport, instead they did several sports, which allowed them to eventually excel in one. I have also observed that world class cyclists, tend to also be world class speed skaters, and it is not unusual for these athletes to win Olympic medals in both sports. Eric Heiden is a good example of this. Yes, we remember that he won five gold medals at the Winter Olympics in speed skating, but he also was a world class cyclist, who rode in the Tour de France.
Epstein concluded that the generalists are going to be the ones who will eventually rule the AI driven world. So, my recommendation, is to become a generalist, and become proficient and obtain an education and certifications in a variety of different occupational skills, to protect yourself from future AI specialization.
Here are some examples of future AI resist occupations, that you might become proficient in:
*Healthcare: Occupations like doctors, nurses, therapists, and mental health counselors are safe due to the need for empathy, patient care, and human connection.
*Skilled Trades: Electricians, plumbers, and carpenters require physical labor, hands-on problem-solving in dynamic environments, and in-person customer interaction that AI cannot copy or replicate.
*Creative and Strategic Roles: Occupations like artists, musicians, writers, strategists, and lawyers and judges, need a high degree of creativity, judgment, and cultural understanding that AI currently cannot produce.
*Human Services: Social workers, counselors, and community organizers rely on empathy and understanding complex human dynamics, making them resistant to AI programs.
*Education: Teachers and and instructors require human-to-human connection, mentorship, and adaptability to varied learning needs.

Brian, you’re asking a very thoughtful question at the right time. AI is indeed reshaping the job market, but it’s also highlighting one truth: careers that blend human judgment, empathy, and creativity with technical adaptability will be the most resilient.
1. Lean Into Human-Centered Professions
Fields like therapy, psychology, and speech-language pathology are relatively future-proof because:
• They require deep empathy, interpersonal connection, and trust that AI cannot replicate.
• They involve personalized, context-driven decisions rather than routine data processing.
• They are regulated, credentialed professions, which creates a barrier to automation.
2. Build Skills That AI Complements, Not Replaces
No matter the field you enter, focus on:
• Emotional intelligence (EQ): Empathy, listening, and relationship-building will only grow in value.
• Critical thinking & ethics: Being able to question, interpret, and make responsible decisions alongside AI tools.
• Digital literacy in your domain: For example, a speech therapist who can integrate AI-powered language tools will stand out from one who avoids them.
3. Explore Hybrid Career Paths
You don’t need to give up creativity or education. Consider paths where you can combine them:
• Creative Arts Therapy: Blends psychology with music/art.
• Educational Technology or Instructional Design: Uses AI tools but still requires human pedagogy.
• Health-Tech Specialization: For example, using AI-enabled speech therapy apps as part of your clinical practice.
4. Strategies to Stay Employable Long-Term
• Invest in advanced credentials (Master’s, licensing, certifications). These give you professional security.
• Stay flexible: Think of your career not as a single path, but as a “portfolio” you can adapt over time.
• Network in both directions: Keep one foot in creative communities and another in healthcare/tech circles. This cross-pollination often leads to unique, future-proof roles.
• Learn AI literacy (basic data, ethics, or applied AI in your chosen domain). You don’t need to code, but being “AI-aware” will future-proof you.
My bottom-line advice: Pick a human-centered, regulated profession like speech-language pathology or counseling, but keep your creative and AI-adaptive edge alive. That way, instead of competing with AI, you’ll be the professional who knows how to use AI responsibly to help people and that combination will be in demand for decades.

Brian, let me start off by saying that I think your question is a valid one that many people that are in their careers and/or thinking about starting their career should ask themselves. In my opinion, AI will continue to shape many aspects of the job market. I also think that the most future-proof careers will be those that rely on deeply human qualities. These are things like empathy, critical thinking, creativity, and strong communication. Just think of professions like therapy, psychology, and speech-language pathology as these are great examples because they involve building trust, reading emotions, and making personalized decisions based on complex human needs. Just so you know I think we use the word AI incorrectly. I tend to think of it as Augment Intelligence. This is because it is supposed to be something that augments what people do today. I am not saying that there aren't tasks that can be fully replaced by AI, but things like human qualities are things that AI may assist with, but won’t replace anytime soon. If you’re already in music education and creative work, you likely already have a strong foundation in creativity and people-centered communication, which are valuable and transferable across many roles, which could be augmented by AI, but not totally replaced.
I believe that in order to stay employable and adaptable long-term, start by developing skills that are hard to automate. These are things like emotional intelligence, active listening, adaptability, and cultural competence. At the same time, build some tech literacy. Try and understand how AI and digital tools are being used in your target fields so you can work alongside them rather than be replaced by them. For example, therapists and psychologists are increasingly using AI tools for administrative tasks or basic assessments, but the human connection and professional judgment still belong to you. Being someone who can navigate both the human and tech sides of your field will make you stand out.
Lastly, think strategically about education and certifications. I would start by choosing programs that offer strong clinical or hands-on experience, and look for opportunities to specialize in areas with growing demand, such as mental health for specific populations, communication disorders, or trauma-informed care. Nonetheless, please stay curious, keep learning, and be open to pivoting as new tools and needs emerge. The goal isn’t just to find a “safe” career. It should be to to grow into a role where your human strengths are enhanced, not threatened, by technology.

What a thoughtful question, Brian! Quite a few folks are thinking through this right now. First, please get familiar with AI tools and technology. You don't have to learn to code but understanding these tools and even introducing them in your daily life e.g., chatgpt, can help you better understand how it might impact your field in the longer run.
Regardless of industry or job profile, these tools will be used to "augment" humans and its better to approach it from a place of curiosity rather than fear. The careers you have outlined have a deep human empathy element which AI cannot replicate until we get to AGI (~10 years out) so there is time. Also, at that point you would have built credibility in your field and deep domain expertise which will help you have differentiated value vs. AI and you get to shape the outcome vs. be displaced by it.
Hopefully this helps. All the best for this next step!

Choosing careers like therapy and speech-language pathology is a smart move. These fields rely on skills that only humans can do well.
AI isn't great at showing empathy, building trust, or understanding complex human interactions. Jobs that require these skills are more secure.
To stay relevant, consider these strategies:
Focus on "High-Touch" Industries: Fields like therapy, psychology, and speech-language pathology are ideal. They depend on human connection and trust, which can't be automated. Your background in music education is a big plus. You've already learned how to connect with people and meet their unique needs.
Develop Irreplaceable Skills: Work on skills that are hard to replace.
Deep Empathy and Interpersonal Connection: Learn to listen, understand, and build trust.
Complex Problem-Solving: Be ready to handle tricky, ethical situations that don't have easy answers.
Creativity and Adaptability: Use your knowledge in new ways for different people.
See AI as a Partner, Not a Replacement: The best professionals will use AI as a helpful tool. In therapy, AI can take care of tasks like paperwork, tracking progress, or suggesting resources. This lets you focus on the important work of connecting with people and making a difference.

Hi Brian,
It's a good question! And, it's exciting and scary to think about heading in a different direction. The desire to be in a field that has stability is understandable. To make a living in the creative arts is challenging. If you ultimately decide to travel a different path than the one that you are currently on, be as sure as you can be in your reasons for wanting this change. If you feel good and positive about your reasons, then go for it!
Both counseling and speech therapy are careers that involve and depend upon human interactions. Some counselors conduct sessions virtually, but it is still two people listening and talking to each other. Speech therapists, whether working with children, teenagers, or adults, also depend upon that human connection. A programmed voice cannot provide supported counseling to someone who may be anxious or depressed. A programmed voice cannot see a person when they speak to help them correct a sound. There will always be a need for counselors (whether you are a psychologist, psychiatrist, or therapist) and for speech therapists. I can say there is a shortage of pediatric psychiatrists. There is a huge need for them.
If you are a musician and a creative person, you can utilize these skills within the counseling sector. Music therapy, art therapy, acting therapy, etc. are newer fields of practice. It is a way to continue the love of the arts within a different capacity.
In looking at areas where AI exists - business, employment recruiters, help chats on college websites, store websites, etc., and search engines. Even if you are chatting with a robot about a question you have on your phone plan, a person wrote the responses for the AI.
I believe you are on the right track in asking the questions now...doing your research so you may make an informed decision about where the next chapter takes you.
Best of luck!

What a terrific question, Brian! Currently, AI is really fast at finding patterns in data, which is very useful. But AI cannot apply values the way that humans can and is only as good as the data it was trained on. AI is improving, but those are two big caveats, especially in your field.
My advice would be to stay current on how AI is being used in your field and adopt it where it makes sense to you. You could do this through reading professional media (online and offline), following leaders in your field on LinkedIn and other social media, attending webinars and conferences, and checking in with your network. The expression I hear the most is that AI will not replace humans so much as humans who know AI will replace humans who don't.
Also, stay curious and open to learning. A different kind of job could arise from technology or market conditions that interests you and uses your skills and knowledge in a new way. In my 30's, I thought I would pursue healthcare policy in the US and now I am working in technology training. There were a lot of steps and market changes along the way. I hope this helps and wish you good luck!

Hello Brian!
AI is changing jobs, so it's smart to think about a new career. You're interested in therapy, psychology, or speech-language pathology, and that's a great choice. These jobs are safe from AI because they need human skills that a computer can't copy.
Think about it: a therapist's job is to build trust and understand feelings. A speech-language pathologist helps people one-on-one. These are very human tasks. While AI might help with some simple work, it can't replace the real human connection and judgment needed for these jobs.
To get ready, focus on your human skills, like being a good listener, understanding others' feelings, and solving problems. You already have these from your music background. As you train for a new career, look for programs that teach these personal, hands-on skills. By focusing on what makes us human, you'll stay needed and successful for a long time.
Wish you all the best.

Hello, Brian !
It is wonderful that you have a great career already and are thinking of taking the steps for a different career. You should only do it if your heart is really in it and not for the purpose of avoiding Artificial Intelligence. The outstanding careers that you've mentioned would be Speech Therapy and Psychology which would be for a career in mental health.
It's going to depend on how many more years you intend to or want to study in college. The mental health careers can be from 6 to 8 - 12 years depending on the exact mental health field you choose. Speech Therapy can take six years but can vary based on your circumstances. So figuring out how many years you can go to college for these careers may help you decide. Both Speech Therapy as well as the careers in mental health are portable, you can find employment no matter where you move if that's in the future. So these are two very good fields.
Much of Speech Therapy requires working with a person that you would have to see, hear and analyze. There's no need for a machine to do that. It's very quick, not cumbersome and no work beyond the traditional processes for one to do it themself, so I doubt that artificial intelligence would contribute anything useful for this profession unless it's information from an internet search. As a Speech Therapist, you may also be called on to participate with a medical team before and during certain GI (gastro-intestinal) medical exams. Each member of the team is expected to know what is happening and contribute their expertise during it. This is in real time and an artificial intelligence could not possibly be programed to do your part because you wouldn't have known the patient before hand. Even so, can you imagine how much of an extra work burden this would be for the medical team ? I could be wrong, but I think due to the accuracy that needs to be observed and possible liabilities for inaccurate diagnosis, artificial intelligence perhaps may sit this career out.
As for psychology, that's pretty much the same, I think. The careers you've mentioned are ones that demand observation and analytical conclusions, not generalized, but for individualized very different patients. Even that people's health care information would be connected to some sort of internet web, working in mental health requires individualized observation and analysis by a mental health professional. The careers also require obtaining information from the patient that is new and not on their web connected health information. And sometimes that information is wrong/not accurate. And that can mean a big difference in how the patient is served.
So, to not worry too much about the future of artificial intelligence entering the careers you like, think about it. It's my speculation that some places of employment will use artificial intelligence and some won't if it remains a choice. While you are taking a psychology or speech therapy academic path, at some point they feel it necessary, they will teach you how to implement it in your practice. You can apply to places that do or don't use it and eventually you could open your own private practice for Speech Therapy or a psychology career and choose to use artificial intelligence or not. Right now, it's hard to say how it's currently being used in these fields, but it is commonly being used in research and for information. It's my guess that most amounts of human input would still be needed for such individualized and diverse work as psychology and speech therapy.
I'm not a tech or computer person, so this is just my opinion and advice, something to think about. No one can really foretell the future. Artificial Intelligence is indeed already being used but I haven't heard or read about it in the medical or mental health field so far. It's just a choice one has to make moving forward. Whatever college you enroll in, ask the major department if artificial intelligence is incorporated into any of the courses so you'd know before hand. Follow your heart if you will transition. Education is a great career, so really think about this and why you would like to transition to a different field of work.
I hope this is something to think about and I wish you all the best !

To keep your job safe as AI grows, choose work needing people skills and care, like therapy or helping others speak. Learn to work with new tech, keep learning often, and be ready to change jobs if needed. Skills like talking well, understanding feelings, and being creative are hard for AI to do. Focus on jobs where people need help or work together. This will keep you needed and safe in the future.

Hello Brian,
There seems to be a problem developing with a lack of honesty in this human pursuit of Artificial Intelligence! I suppose even the experts are unsure of the outcome! People in the discipline say the technology shall not replace jobs! I do not see this! As a result, we sing that song by David Cassidy - "How Can I Be Sure?" ["In A World That's Constantly Changing ... "]
Do not avoid interaction with the world of AI. Input your talents, because these shall influence the development of a social conscience for AI. Bear in mind, nobody should want to be a 'beast of burden' for AI! Somehow, I do not entertain the science becomiing a kind taskmaster!
The science of Artificial Intelligence should not be given the authority to govern human actions! Examples are policy development, policing, and firing people! AI is welcome to assist, but the final decision belongs to the People!
Tell the AI to focus on priorities that improve the quality of life, not detract from it. Chasing mega-dollars is not where it is at! Look at the results from The Club of Rome's 1972 survey on the 'quality of life in the western world.' I will bet it is not to flash now!

Artificial Intelligence is a hot topic in the news right now. It's a good idea to explore therapy fields and choose careers that AI can't easily replace.
An area that is a sensitive topic is the assessment of human behavior as appropriate or inappropriate. One example is probational parole. Another is the formulation of legal protocols.

Here are some jobs that are generally safe from automation:-
1. Healthcare: Doctors, nurses, and therapists need human empathy and complex decision-making. I do not foresee AI entering into psychotherapeutics.
2. Creative Fields: Jobs in art, writing, and design rely on creativity and emotional intelligence. Example AI cannot express FEELINGS.
3. Education: Teachers and educators are essential for personal development and mentorship. Agreed AI cannot enter into the teacher-student relationship.
4. Skilled Trades: Electricians, plumbers, and carpenters do hands-on work that requires problem-solving. There are too many factors to consider programming a trade Bot.
5. Management: Roles involving strategic decisions and people skills are less likely to be automated. Far too much complex reasoning involved with company roles.
These jobs require human skills that AI struggles to mimic, making them more secure in a tech-driven world.

I just read an article regarding how disruptive AI has been for those age 22 to 26. It is a fast emerging technology that is having a lot of positive and negative ramifications.
Moving into a role that is more people focused might not be a bad idea, but I Also recommend leaning into AI and trying to educate yourself. Soon I think virtually all rules will use AI in some form or another And showing that you are competent with that technology will be helpful.
