The Future of Work: Where Wealth Is Heading
The careers that build wealth are shifting. AI is compressing some knowledge work, automation is reshaping others, and remote work is decoupling income from geography. Here's where things appear to be heading.

How to position yourself
Favor skills that are hard to automate, build optionality, and use location as a lever. Above all, convert rising income into invested assets early — the tools change, but compounding doesn't.
