"Tech leaders have consistently warned that AI is already as good as entry-level workers and that it could halve white-collar jobs by 2030. In fact, a " first-of-its-kind " Stanford University study has warned that the new technology is already having "significant and disproportionate impact" on Gen Z. So it's no wonder they're eyeing up jobs in healthcare which offer low unemployment rates, the potential to earn over $200,000, and is unlikely to be replaced with robotic doctors and nurses anytime soon."
"That's because recent research from shift work platform Deputy, which surveyed 1.28 million users, ranks doctors, paramedics, and even chiropractors as the unhappiest workers. In fact, doctors' offices and medical clinics recorded the highest levels of dissatisfaction, with nearly 38% of respondents saying they're unhappy in their jobs. Chiropractors and staff in critical and emergency services weren't far behind. And if you include animal health roles, 4 out of the 5 worst jobs for happiness in the UK right now are in healthcare."
AI is already matching entry-level worker performance and could halve white-collar jobs by 2030, increasing career uncertainty for graduates. A Stanford University study found the new technology is having a significant and disproportionate impact on Gen Z. Many young people are choosing healthcare careers due to low unemployment, potential earnings above $200,000, and low automation risk. Large-scale survey data from the shift-work platform Deputy shows doctors, paramedics, chiropractors and other healthcare roles report high unhappiness, with nearly 38% of medical clinic staff unhappy. Burnout drivers include staffing shortages, emotional strain, unpredictable rosters, and an ageing population. Meanwhile, fast-food, waiting and barista roles report higher satisfaction and stronger wage growth than desk jobs.
