I’m a high school student trying to answer a question that feels increasingly critical for my generation: How do you choose a career when AI is changing what work might look like before you even enter the workforce?
High school students are making decisions about their futures during one of the most uncertain technological moments in recent history. We wonder whether the careers we’re preparing for will look radically different, or, in some cases, even exist, a decade from now.
That anxiety isn’t entirely new. In the early 20th century, telephone switchboard operators held jobs considered stable, respectable, and essential to the country’s communication network. Within a generation, technological change had largely eliminated the profession.
Today, similar questions loom over almost every field. Will coding become increasingly automated? Will AI read medical images better than doctors? What happens to designers, writers, marketers, teachers, entrepreneurs, and scientists as AI becomes capable of doing more of what they do?
I started Career Craft AI because I wanted to ask the people actually doing these jobs.
Through conversations with professionals across industries, I explore what AI is changing, what it isn’t, and what skills might matter most in the careers ahead.
One profession at a time. One conversation at a time. For students trying to figure out what comes next.
