During the Spring Festival friends gathering, when talking about some plans and ideas for 2017, Xiaobian, a friend of the primary school teacher, said: "I want to learn something outside of work, but I don't know what to learn."

"How come you want to learn something suddenly? They all say that the teacher is an iron rice bowl. Are you afraid that you will lose your job?" asked friend B.

The people's teacher friend A said with no emotion: "You don't know, every year in the school, what kind of talent competition is going to happen. I feel that I can't get any talents, so I want to learn something talent. Besides, there is still an iron rice bowl. Do you know what the definition of the iron rice bowl is now? It is not to have food in one place, but to eat everywhere. I have to plan ahead?"

"What you said makes sense. I have been doing accounting since I graduated from college. Unless I go to the management direction, I feel that the future is bleak. Have you ever heard of artificial intelligence? It is said that the future accounting work will be replaced by machines. Well, Emma, ​​too scared," said friend B.

Friend A and friend B, you said a word of excitement, and let Xiaobian me fall into deep thought: In the future, I will go closer and say, in the next 2017, how should we make ourselves full of uncertainty? Stand in the sex era?

Future career trends

In 2016, I believe that you have heard the word "artificial intelligence" on various social networking platforms or media. One of the things that had the highest rate of appearance last year was that the artificial intelligence "Alpha Dog" defeated Korean player Li Shishi and won two games in the game of Go! what? Even in the field of Go, which is considered to be exclusive to smart people, the machine is plugged into the red flag of victory, and human beings are afraid of GAMEOVER. This is the first reaction of many people to this matter.

In this regard, Luo Ji thinking co-founder Luo fat said in the 2016 New Year's speech: "We are not sleeping at the bedside, there is something to wake up." And, it is cold, it is slow Sit up, and most of us don’t know what it is...


Emma, ​​what is artificial intelligence?

It is a monster that is fed by big data to identify things or make certain judgments or behaviors by constantly “eat and digest” large amounts of data. For example, if you want to know the dog species, just enter millions, even tens of thousands, hundreds of millions of pictures about the dog, and tell it that it is a dog. This monster has its own way to know what a creature is a dog. In fact, in the world of artificial intelligence, it does not know what a dog is. In its world, there is only data, only the facts that are constantly approaching!

It is also the "children who work hard and obey" from the parents' mouths when they are young, and they can study energetically and continuously. How strong is its learning ability? It was also the artificial intelligence that defeated the Korean chess player Li Shishi. It took only ten minutes to read 20 million pages of medical literature! 20 million pages, but the equivalent of 4 kilometers high! How long does it take for humans to read these documents?

In fact, whether we know exactly what artificial intelligence is, but what is certain is: I want to compete with artificial intelligence, that is not even the door!


A large wave of elites even speculated that this guy might grab most of our people's jobs in the future. According to an authoritative report: "By 2020, there will be 7 million jobs in the world, including some white-collar workers and blue-collar workers." Banks, cashiers, etc. have strong rules, low collaboration, and few connections with others. Some positions are easily eliminated.

Listening to the heart and coldness... Is it that we humans are waiting to be replaced by cold machines? Of course not so pessimistic. In fact, the emergence of artificial intelligence can liberate mankind from the heavy and monotonous physical labor and mechanical work in the past, and focus more on the field of culture and art that makes human happiness.

Why do you say that? Because artificial intelligence has amazing ability that is incomparable to human beings, it also has shortcomings. For example, one of the biggest shortcomings is that there is no creativity, no aesthetic ability, and this is the core competence of creative talents in the art field.

After talking about the big man of artificial intelligence, let's take a look at other noteworthy career trends. I don't know if you noticed in your work that it seems that having a single ability is not enough to cope with the changes in the workplace. If the superior suddenly throws you a new project, you may need to relearn some skills for it. For example, some web designers nowadays, in addition to mastering basic design skills such as font, typesetting, and material processing, hand-painting ability has become more and more important. Although you may be angry with this and you are not an illustrator, why should you draw something? But the boss always looks at the result of the work, can not get his satisfaction, you can only wait to be fired! And this is the second kind of career change we are talking about: the job content is uncertain, we are ready to learn new skills at any time!

In addition, we find that more and more companies tend to find part-time or odd jobs instead of full-time people to complete a professional job. When someone gets a project from a company, you don't have to do it at a fixed place in the company, such as an office. As long as you come up with the results that ultimately satisfy the boss, whether you are sitting on the road or on the toilet. . These reflect the third trend of career change: work no longer refers to a position, a place, but can do something with high quality in a limited time.

A group of Chinese style posters for the 2017 Hunan Satellite variety show "Singer" is quite amazing. According to relevant people involved in the production of the poster, the production of this "God-level poster" lasted for 40 days, and each link included almost the top artists in the industry, including Chinese illustrator, the top fashion photographer Jia Lei, China. The calligrapher, brother, and the singer, Mr. Daisuke, and the wild child!

This is also a good illustration of a comprehensive work that requires collaboration among top professionals. For the person in charge of this job, he does not need these professional talents to reside in his own company, as long as they complete the work within the specified time.

Having said that, you should have a general understanding of some of the career trends of this era. Here, let's summarize it:

1. Artificial intelligence will have a huge impact on the future society, but it also brings opportunities - liberating mankind from the heavy and monotonous manual labor and mechanical work in the past, and putting more energy on the culture that makes human happiness. The field of art, such as the field of painting design.

2. A single ability is not enough to deal with the workplace, you need to maintain a lifelong learning state, and learn more skills to make yourself more competitive.

3. More and more companies tend to find odd jobs or outsource a part of a job to capable people. This has largely given people more freedom.

Which skills are worth investing in the future?

It is important to understand some of the career trends in the future, which determine where we will focus our energy and money, or which skills to develop in the future.

First, high-end technology industries, such as programming, artificial intelligence, big data, biotechnology and so on.

The scarcity of high-end technical talents is unquestionable. This is evident from the current salary levels of some technical graduates. As the saying goes, things are rare. Although the industry salary is high, but this bowl of rice is not anyone can eat, after all, if there is no tough technical ability and large brain capacity to do capital, it will sooner or later be OUT.

Second, the entertainment industry, such as film and television, games, animation and so on.

Psychologist Maslow has a well-known hierarchy of needs, which mentions that people have high-level needs and low-level needs. When a person meets the low-level needs such as food and clothing, he will turn to high-level needs, such as happiness and the texture of life.

The entertainment industry also plays an important role in improving human happiness. Moreover, nowadays, the work pressure of people in the city is big, watching movies and playing games is a very good decompression option. This has been adapted from more and more online literary works and comic works into TV dramas in recent years, and the demand for raw materials is in short supply, so that people can understand how strong their desires are.

As far as the game industry is concerned, the related positions, such as the conceptual design of the original game scene, the design of the original game character, the game UI, etc., are also rising, and the talent is very scarce.


â–² broad employment space for game original design talents

Third, cultural and creative industries, such as painting, design, music and so on.

For example, commercial illustrators in the field of painting have unique advantages. First, commercial illustrators are mostly freelancers. They don't need to work in a fixed company or time. After receiving an outsourcing, they can complete the work within a limited time, such as the singer poster we mentioned above. example of. This is a good fit for future career trends – work no longer refers to a position, a place, but can do something with high quality in a limited time.

Moreover, the application of commercial illustrations is very extensive, involving advertising commercial illustrations, cartoon mascot design, publication illustrations, film and television game art design, etc., so the personal choice space is relatively large. Illustrator's application can be seen in the illustration packaging design of Nongfu Spring, the famous food brand “Three Squirrels”, and some print advertisements everywhere on the street. It can be said that there are illustrators where there are advertisements!

▲ The success of the famous food brand “Three Squirrels” has a great relationship with the image design of cartoon illustrations.

Most importantly, as we mentioned earlier, one of the biggest shortcomings of artificial intelligence is that it has no creativity and no aesthetic ability. This is precisely the strength of commercial illustrators - not only to give people a beautiful enjoyment, but also to integrate with business. It’s just right.

It is the vitality of the cultural and creative industry. The blue pencil online art education brand has determined its mission as: Let art light a bright future! It has also opened related courses such as antique illustrations, Japanese illustrations, Q version illustrations, and hand-drawn cartoons to help more people with artistic dreams find their favorite jobs. Because it is online education, time and space are not limited, but also give some working people more freedom to improve their skills and develop hobbies.

In fact, no matter how the times change, as long as we maintain a lifelong learning and open attitude, we will not be beaten by the times. This is the ultimate recipe for Xiaobian!
