FT columnist Simon Kuper wrote an article this weekend titled “How to live to 100 and be happy”. He emphasized that the important of life-long learning is the key which I can’t agree more.
“Future careers will contain many transformations. Lives will have fourth, fifth even sixth acts. People will have to make more choices: next year, should you flat-out in your job, return to education to learn new skills, or transition to an entirely new sector? There will be time to achieve mastery in multiple domains.”
“Older people, especially, will develop portfolio careers”
“You might also need to spend much of your non-working time re-skilling or exercising to maintain your body and brain for those extra decades.”
Well, I think there will be demand for life coaches specializing in adult learning and personal development. :>
