Simple logic, if not needed at the office, why bother keeping home workers — the new global WHF cohort anno 2020 — when it can be automated and replaced by algorithm and artificial intelligence?

Big tech and proponents of the gig economy argue that AI, automation and robotisation will create as many new jobs as it destroys.

The Big question is — which new jobs will be created — and that depends largely on each person’s individual skill set.

It’s safe to say that the higher the intelligence and intellectual capacity of someone, the greater the chance of a successful career. Add to that a good education at a major university, most likely followed up by a Master’s degree and the chances of career success grow exponentially.

The reality however is that not everyone has the required skill set or intellectual capacity to study and pursue a successful career. And some are not even bothered, owning to perhaps a supportive family nursing the career development of their offspring. On the other side of the spectrum, the career ladder may be distinctively different. Not everyone wants to become a coder or data scientist, some just may want to be creative or pursue…
