You’ll still need attorneys, accountants, people in marketing, sales, etc. It’s not really going to be any different.[/quote]
-Attorneys: A lot of legal information can now be found online, as can the forms that people can use to represent themselves. The legal profession has been severely hit over the past few years.
-Accountants: Technology is drastically changing the way people use accountants as software can now do in a few hours what many accountants had to physically spend weeks/months/years doing. Companies can also outsource a lot of the work to low-wage countries.
-Marketing/Sales: The travel industry has already been hammered by technology, and the real estate industry has been taking a beating as well. The entertainment industry (a.k.a.: biggest player in the marketing) has been hard hit by large, medium, and small-time competition that was often made possible by technology and outsourcing. And we all know how they’ve been very negatively affected by the internet.
Anyone who thinks they are going to come out of this unscathed — no matter how smart or how driven they are — is deluding him/herself.[/quote]
Not really. Only people who give up or havent been building wealth and living paycheck to paycheck or people who have serious learned helplessness loser mentality. In everything. There are winners and there are losers. People definitely lose by doing nothing.
Obviously people never worked in said areas always oversimplify what they don’t know about. Sitting down with a CPA anbd done anything slightly more involved was an eye opener how complex the us tax rules are and how dynamically they change and being that at some time I’ve worked at turbo tax the issue isnt about the mechanism of punching in numbers but by the sheer ideas how and what to claim for anything.
But I love people who give up before trying… Because I don’t see them as competitive peers. They aren’t there competing for top paying jobs. And they aren’t there competing for investment opportunities. And chances are neither will their kids be since they’ve also given up early.
If people want to have loser mentality all the time…or continuously just giving feel good trophies for “best effort awards” instead of actual results… Not much you can do about it.
