      Most career advice is still heavily based on belief in perpetual growth and political / environmental stability. Anything else sounds like paranoid doomsday mentality, but that doesn't remove my worries (and those of many other students, I'm willing to bet) https://twitter.com/infiniturtle/status/1206124702567215104 …

      You can at least talk about automation concerns with people, but I find it impossible to introduce climate events or existential risk into conversation. Addressing such issues feels like indictment of the middle class lives we lead or want, introduces uncertainty.

      My experience is shaped by growing up in the SF Bay Area as the kid of immigrants. We all believed in one simple message: work very hard, study long hours, and you WILL find a job that pays well and is secure for the rest of your life. Your parents did it, why can't you?

      Now, I do not know what to replace that message with. Perhaps to work hard on a set of enjoyable or fulfilling skills that have some amount of relevance to the rapidly changing terrain we find ourselves in, although you are not future-proof. Still overly broad advice

          Confusion about finding a career still redirects to personality matching, which isn't even proven to find good jobs for you (at least this is what I got from a career exploration class at my school).

          There’s a big gap between that and saying "I know my MBTI, now what does that have to do with useful skills in the context of deep political and technological instability or even near-term social collapse?"

          Trying to find my own answer to this question hasn't been too productive, because you're left with a lot of depressing present-day news and trying to make sense of predictions that may or may not be doomsaying.

          Becoming a homesteader to GTFO modern society doesn't seem right for many people. Neither does sticking your head in the sand and trying to hoard as much capital as possible.

          In the meantime, I've been looking at starting points for knowledge and preparation for these times, such as @leashless's resources on state failure and contingency management (http://vinay.howtolivewiki.com/blog/other/the-gupta-state-failure-management-archive-a-public-resource-for-hard-times-2636 …).

          .@worrydream's "What Can a Technologist Do About Climate Change?" site may also help you if you're interested in tech (http://worrydream.com/ClimateChange/ )
