"Young people are getting the short end of the stick when it comes to the AI revolution-and there's no sign of it slowing. A Stanford University study released earlier this month found AI is having a "significant and disproportionate impact" on entry-level workers in the U.S., raising fresh concerns about how the next generation will find its footing in the labor market. But for those worried about what the future of work will look like, young professionals may need to look bigger-and even toward the sky. That's because the same technology that may be disrupting traditional jobs could accelerate entirely new industries from space tourism to planet colonization."
"In 2035, that graduating college student, if they still go to college at all, could very well be leaving on a mission to explore the solar system on a spaceship in some completely new, exciting, super well-paid, super interesting job,"
"The most secure-and lucrative-jobs of tomorrow may not be on Earth at all."
AI adoption is disproportionately displacing entry-level workers, creating fresh labor-market challenges for young professionals. A Stanford study found a significant and disproportionate impact on early-career roles in the U.S. Rapid AI disruption could simultaneously enable new commercial opportunities in space, from tourism to colonization. High-profile entrepreneurs are investing in mainstream space travel and envisioning well-paid, novel jobs off Earth within the next decade. Some industry leaders urge prioritizing terrestrial problems instead, but the potential for space-based industries presents an alternative career pathway that may be more resilient to AI-driven automation.
