3 years ago I picked up Tim Ferriss' "4 Hour Work Week” - the bible of the first wave of nomadic online entrepreneurs. Like many people exploring this new concept of career and financial freedom beyond waiting for an increasingly uncertain retirement, the “4HWW" changed my perspective on my career, freedom, and life in general.The End of Jobs presents an even more compelling argument on how the traditional education, career and asset accumulation script is failing. Not just failing a generation of Millennials who can't get professional jobs after 4 years and tens or hundreds of thousands of college debt, but all workers. Pearson presents the historical contexts of work throughout history, showing how these paradigms each crumbled as a result of power shifts from Monarchies to Banks to Corporations. Today, the power shift has moved from the Corporation to the Individual, and as such, a "job" in the traditional sense is doomed.After laying the groundwork for this theory, Pearson then presents actionable steps to hedge these risks and attain freedom. Like The Four Hour Work Week, there are also specific strategies and tactics. With the rate at which digital innovation moves, it's difficult to keep these tactics timeless. But the concepts of the "Stair Step Method" and Apprenticeships will hold any fledgling entrepreneur in good stead for years to come. I for one will use it and the accompanying bonus material as a knowledgebase in my own business and personal processes.There is a somewhat derogatory term, the Wantrepreneur: a person who gorges on entrepreneurial philosophy and strategies but is yet to pull the trigger and go out on a limb themselves.
We’ve all heard Marc Andreessen quip how ‘Software is eating the world’. Automation is posing a serious threat to rote work that can be performed better by computers. According to the Economist almost half of all current jobs will be automated. So what does this mean for the next generation of workers?In Pearson’s view the emphasis should be on "current" jobs. Work in the future will not look anything like it does today, but one aspect will be inevitable: personal entrepreneurship.This is because the internet has democratised global distribution and has exposed the long tail of consumer demand. In the post-internet world, anyone with a laptop and internet connection can turn his/her personal area of expertise into a useful product/service and cost-effectively ship it to anyone around the world.In today’s world of educational inflation the limiting constraint for fulfilling work and safe salary is no longer credentialism but entrepreneurship.As a university researcher in aerospace engineering, I myself am right at the top of this educational ladder. For a long time I kept asking myself, What do I have to fear? Aerospace engineering jobs require a unique combination of analytical skills and creativity, are computers and the masses of new engineering graduates from India and China really going to compete away my livelihood?Perhaps. I am still convinced that practical professions like engineering will always be in demand.However, what this book has done is to force me to question my fondly held assumptions and acknowledge that there is room for entrepreneurship for everyone.I love and enjoy my university work and want to stay in research for the foreseeable future.
"The End of Jobs" talks about the coming future in which, contrary to conventional wisdom, people may have more luck starting their own business than getting a job working for someone else. Unfortunately, the book does a better job describing the problem than showing readers a solution, although part of that problem is inherent to the task that the author took on.The book has a fairly accurate view of the situation that many people are facing in the work force. Once again, the job market is changing, and people will need to adapt in order to survive. The book thus posits that the necessary adaptation is becoming an entrepreneur, and creating your own job rather than relying on someone else to give you one.The principle is all well and good. People who succeed in their entrepreneurial ventures are often inspiring stories, and get a fair amount of satisfaction out of it. However, very few people ultimately succeed, and those who do require a great deal of initiative, hard work and luck. To his credit, though, the author fully acknowledges this, and suggests that we are in "Extremistan," with wildly divergent results between peers.Of course, there are certain people who are better off than others, depending on their skills and training. For example, business majors have the skills and training necessary to found their own business instead of getting a job in someone else's, but it may be significantly more difficult for a teacher to do something similar. The author cannot provide each and every individual a precise route to follow for success, since people's talents, desires and motivations are too different for that, and prefers to suggest that people become entrepreneurs in their own ways.
