The world is changing throughout the history, what was considered a job few years ago, now nobody is gonna pay you anything for doing that job. It’s not only job, Womens Article also wrote that some college degrees will be considered not necessary in the future.
Degrees such as Accounting, Hospitality and Tourism, Paralegal, Broadcast Communication, and Pharmacy, will no longer be able to catch up with technology. An automated accounting system, online shops, advance social media will replaces all those degrees since people wants something smarter and faster.
At some point, I agree with the article, BUT these degree will only grows more effective and efficient by combining it with other field of study. When people go for an accounting degree, they learn not only accounting, but also economics, management, or business.
There’s still a lot of companies that doesn’t use automated technology, therefore they always has job for an accounting, it ranges from the basic job description like recording transactions to more complex stuff like financial report analysis.
Accounting system, like QuickBooks can do so much but interpreting the numbers itself. The reports generated, has to be interpreted to management so they understand the financial implication of their businesses.
Surely, in the future, software companies will provide much more robust and reliable technology for jobs that can be automated or simplified. That’s where people need to change also in line with the world’s change.
There’s also a tendency to marry two or more jobs into one that will resulted in much effective and efficient way of expanding businesses and embracing technologies is the only choice for companies if they want to survive in the world of competition.
