networking - to find gigs bootlicking - to get promoted after you find your gig good communication/leadership - to keep yourself in that high position

Every hour spent on acquiring hard skills is an hour wasted that could be otherwise better spent on licking someone elses boot!

Trade (protected by physical work + unions), especially those that are less repetitive;

Military (still need humans in loop most of the time I guess, even for drones);

Lawyers, accountants, some government jobs and anything that needs to send a human to the prison if something is messed up;

Daycare/primary school/middle school teachers. Looks like parents still want their children to interact with humans after all;

Security skills are becoming more valuable not less. As AI writes more code, the attack surface grows faster than ever. Someone still needs to find and fix the vulnerabilities that AI introduces. Knowing how to think like an attacker — not just a builder — will always have value.

Communication skills. IF you can't express yourself, the AI won't be able to understand you. I see in the morning subway, people don't talk, they watch their devices. A whole generation prefer to scroll in social media, instead of talking between each other. I am interested to see how they will use the prompts for express themselves in an understandable way, for professional purposes.
