Surfing the Tsunami

After reading into the text "Surfing the Tsunami" I now have some perspective on where our thinking needs to be set when determining future employment. Adapting to AI is one aspect mentioned in the text and while we adapt we must be aware of where we stand in the workforce and the importance of the position you hold at your job. We know the future of Artificial intelligence is only going to improve as time goes on. Some are excited about the convenience it offers in accomplishing everyday tasks, such as navigating and calculations. Many others would argue that humans will become too dependant on it, and lose sight of what actually makes us human. Some argue that AI will lead us to create robots that replace jobs and eventually force more people to go to school. 

I believe Amazon was one of the many first companies to come out and say they are trying to develop a system that will allow your packages to be delivered using drones. While the idea sounds super cool and fascinating we must also consider the number of UPS and other delivering companies that will be at risk due to their jobs being replaced. Obviously, the market for a delivery driver isn't as high as a business major trying to pursue his goal of landing a job after graduation. However, after reading into the situation, I'm seeing that jobs that require analyzing a ton of data will be replaced such as financial services and insurance. That is extremely alarming and makes me feel like I should consider switching majors considering I am currently studying finance right now. Although we know change is coming for the better or the worse, we also must prepare for what's ahead and plan accordingly.
