Why Your Next Career Move Should be in Artificial Intelligence

[@prersgirls]

“Staying ahead of the Curve,” That’s exactly what I need to do. What we all need to do. I’m 50 years old and I don’t want to be left behind.

[@Phantomyre]

I'm in my 30s and I've been resistant to changes. But it's encouraging to see the older generations embracing change. And if you guys can, then so should us younger people.

[@sonnyca]

I’m three years your senior, and I had a technical job a while ago. I’m considering moving to a non-technical AI job.

[@JasonVonHolmes]

I'm a 36 year new USAF Vet and I'm interested in going into this field.

[@stevenspiker7543]

Great video Don! I am 50 years old and I am considering a career switch into IT specifically artificial intelligence. One of my friends in the IT field called me and told me about how there are opportunities with artificial intelligence. I have just started taking courses today. My goal is to be in the IT field of artificial intelligence in 10 months

[@Gabriel-511]

As a data scientist I can tell anyone willing to listen for free. AI is a difficult field to get into if you aren’t smart and very good at solving problems. That’s the only way you provide value to a company. One needs to master statistics, develop business acumen, be a good software engineer and know mlops to be a proficient data scientist. Even a data analyst role is very technical. Don’t quit your job in pursuit of a career in AI,Learn it with dedication on the side till you are ready because more than half the professionals in the field hold a phd and the remaining half hold a masters. The competition now is immense

[@Fairtheewell1485]

Thank you for explaining this. Are there roles in the "AI field" that need people with sales/ customer service/ HR backgrounds? Everyone is like ".learn AI" but what should we be learning?

[@ceecollette6708]

So for all the ppl being displaced by AI, what would you suggest they do? He suggests we all learn how to do the new tool that does what we used to do, but if it’s “too difficult” for many to learn, then what?

[@shaylalasalle4817]

@@ceecollette6708honey if something is too difficult. Keep going over it until it makes sense. The brain learns by repeating. Fo it in 15 minutes a day watch how it starts to make sense

[@stevem437]

@@shaylalasalle4817No… I’ve been in cybersecurity for 15 years. These careers are not for everyone. It’s all nice to say “anyone can learn it”… But it’s not true. If it takes you a month to learn others learn in a day, you’re never going to make it. Technology moves way too fast. I started in the military as a Navy CTN. There was an insane shortage in our field. The Navy and other branches were heavily incentivized to get as many people into these jobs as possible, but all of the data showed that many people were just not capable of picking it up within a reasonable amount of time.

Start with programming. Making a real website with front end DB and APIs is a nice first project. Keep it simple focus on writing readable code.

[@techwithbec]

It's very difficult to get into a tech position now. The market is oversaturated. It's going to take a lotof work and be all-consuming in order to beat out other applicants. Is it possible? Yes. But it's risky to transition and much more work than people think.

[@DonGeorgevich]

doing anything worthwhile is never easy

[@sonnyca]

At 54, I’m considering going into AI full time. A very bad employment experience threw me off my game, depression took over and I’ve been out of work for a while. Hopefully, I can find my niche in the industry.

[@alexhein6386]

im 25 in college. I wanted to become filmmaker but my mom said that ai will take over that so she suggested that I work in the ai field. now I'm thinking that I want to become an ai product manger or an ai consultant/ ethicist.

[@CanadaManEg]

You can also use AI in the filmmaking and have a competitive edge using this new "Tool"

[@michaelolz]

"Now we have AI to do some of that heavy lifting or thinking for us..." I really dig AI but this is the one thing that frightens me about it. The less thinking we do for ourselves, the less autonomous we become. How can we have a balance between advanced learning via AI while continuing to nurture and grow our own intelligence?

[@qtgates33]

What online course do you recommend? I am serious about changing careers. Thanks

[@CordellWBenton]

I’m 55 and have just left toxic executive role. You are on point with the knowledge value of AI, great talk.

[@ShondaD_]

I dislike working in a call center being burnt out taking calls back to back. Now I’m looking into switching careers and since AI is huge now and for many years ahead. Do you recommend any AI careers I can look into. I’ve been a customer service representative since 2015. Thank you. I’ve tried to learn Data Analytics before, but it wasn’t for me.

[@patriciaetienne5070]

The most entry level position for AI is an AI Quality Assurance/AI Language/GenAI specialist. But you need an Ed/Journalism/history degree and be a great writer. You’ll need to pass assessments during interviews but once you’re in, you’ll learn a lot and will figure out what you want to specialize in and can get certs and go in from there.

[@andrefontenele7095]

Data Analytics is the most basic form of AI. If Data Analytics isn't for you, then Data Science and AI most likely aren't either. AI is a very technical space, and despite what the grifters will tell you, the people who don't care enough about the technical side to have fun with it at least on some basic level, are usually better off doing something else.

[@edot629]

It would have been a lot more helpful if you mentioned or recommended actual learning path options. No mention of boot camp, certification or degree paths.

[@NappyWayz]

I have been dealing with AI machine learning for 3 years now. I do think it's going to change the world. However, when I hear everyone, including the cab driver talk about it, it makes me think that most of it is just going to be a fad. Will people lose their jobs? Yes Will it change the way we work? Yes. Does everyone need to learn AI at this stage? No. However, they do need to know how to use it in their everyday life.

[@DonGeorgevich]

the stage we're at right now is like when the Internet first became wildly available and those who ignored it, struggled. Those who ignored smart phones, struggled to catch up.

[@stephenhawkins3316]

@@DonGeorgevich I'm still struggling with my smarter than me phone even though I have 35+ years IT experience However I completely agee with @NappyWayz. It's a tool not a panacea I use to shorten the time for tasks and massive savings of time in research With that said all of my factory jobs pre IT no longer exist. 10 years of various positions which in 1976 viewing my first CNC welder decided to either be an automater or an automated. Thus will spend a good deal of time on how to use this tool and necessary ad ins. I'm 67 have no interest in changing jobs but if the wolves arrive (and they have over the years) ill build my RV out of wolf skulls.

[@nwguitarist5485]

Thanks so much for this, I am in the "retirement years" but want to keep working. Been using computers/apps for a long time and still want to keep up as best possible, this is very inspiring and greatly appreciated!

[@treyfeeley2519]

I am 63. I have a BA and an MBA. My past career has been in Inventory / Distribution management. I left that four years ago and became a professional truck driver. I love my job but, think about the future. Is AI something I could do from home? I am looking for a career when I stop driving. Would I face age discrimination? What courses / programs do you recommend ?

Thanks for this video. Im thinking of learning AI to make myself unique and super marketable with a degree in public health

[@Yellow-Rose]

Thanks for cluing us in on what's on the horizon. Very valuable information for those wanting a career change or wanting to know what may be in store for their current position.

[@DonGeorgevich]

many thanks

[@GeeLight]

Thanks for sharing because I'm a career coach/DM professional who is interested in learning AI, & plan to do some education in this area to help clients, and also to expand my career options. I'm trying to understand with my background how I can use my transferable skills in this field of AI to really make an impact in the healthcare field, especially for individuals with disabilities who are my client base the vocational rehabilitation field.

[@Fairtheewell1485]

This is very similar to my situation. I know I need to start learning and move into this field- what I cannot find is ACTUAL roles in AI that are transferable . How do you learn the things he is talking about "learn AI, make yourself marketable to get a job, how to use AI in "that" role? can you give us some actionable advice and tools to use

[@AswinBalaraman]

can you give me a suggestion please. I want to pursue AI and ML. But before that I think of becoming a front end web developer , to have a part- time/freelance job for paying my expenses. Will there be a problem occur , that my web-designing job will confront with my AI and ML learning journey ? (asking Sorry if my question feels like one that doesn't making any sense)

[@Street2Tech]

How does one start from complete scratch?

[@bobtarmac1828]

Ai jobloss is running rampant. Is there a business out there to help us cope?

[@davidge3447]

Now AI is in trends but If you choose to do it then just try your best to finish this job

What if I am a business consultant and not into tech at all?

[@DonGeorgevich]

what if you're a business consultant who has a desire to learn how AI can add value to his clients? What if....

[@scifirose]

Thank you sir, I will look into it

[@MaxStax88]

Did anyone else catch the second coma in the video at the 6 minute 32 second mark? When he is showing you the salary of a AI engineer being 1,05,670 lol. Sure thats one million alright lol. That is not 1,005,670 what he showed is missing a zero. And is fake. A real salary might be 105,670. But that extra coma is trickery my friends

[@innomatrix]

It isn't trickery. That just means the guy editing the video was Asian, where they use that other system of commas.

I don't see how you could be wrong.

[@smiechu47]

It's a fad. History of AI is a series of highs and lows, we're on a high tide now but it won't last forever.

[@DonGeorgevich]

but it will find a way to become part of our daily lives, just as the Internet has, smart phones have, PC's have, cars have, TV's have, and any other modern convenience has. If there's a way to make something easier, humans are down for that. I'd rather use an electric drill to make hole than a manual-crank drill any day of the week, and today, I don't even want to use an electric drill, it has to be cordless...
