(10/8/2010) This can be an alarming news to some people. Why will GM need 10,000 computer, IT workers in the future? It is a sign that the future job market will be very different from our current imagination. Sometimes, I hear students talking about their career future and I am a little bit worried for some of them. These students often have a career vision like their parents, become a salesman, an accountant, or own their business one day in a Pleasantville type of town. They think they should be able to find a well-paid job with a college degree and deserve that. But they don't see that this job market is changing too fast even to their parents who are not much older than my age. Not many jobs can really enjoy a long-term job security and the job loss to another cheaper region is not limited to manufacturing jobs. White-collar jobs or those service jobs can also be replaced. If young-generation students are not capable to adapt to the changes, how can other groups in the society to take the responsibility of our future?
The followings are two pictures that I capture from GM's job webpage today (10/8/2012), what will you position your career future?
