In a world increasingly dominated by Artificial Intelligence (AI), young people are faced with the daunting task of finding secure, fulfilling careers. According to a report made in 2017, about 70% of workplaces will make use of AI, thus reducing over 300 million jobs by 2030 around the globe. While many industries are being reshaped by technology, there is one sector that remains firmly rooted in human ingenuity and craftsmanship: artisanal trades.
Jobs that require creativity and authenticity should be priortised as the way to move forward. This not only creates more satisfying jobs to support mental and physical wellbeing, but also preserves traditional local practices that our culture is known for. This opportunity to connect the older generations to the younger ones will open endless opportunities to better quality living.
Artisanal jobs can also foster a sense of purpose and accomplishment, leading to increased motivation and job satisfaction. These jobs include blacksmiths (landier), shoemakers (skarpan), lacemakers (bizzilla), farmers (bdiewa), fisherman (sajjieda) and many more.
