What’s more, you won’t be in the same job your whole working life—you’ll be more likely that you will change jobs every few years—especially when you’re early in your job. There are ways to be prepared for future jobs by building different job skills. It’s a good idea to start developing these skills early, so you will be ready to jump into these future jobs as they appear. Understanding Digital (数字的) Information Everything is becoming more digital, which means understanding digital information will be important to succeed in the future jobs.

Being Creative (独创的) No technology can match the creativity of the human mind, and many future jobs will need people to come up with new ideas and put these ideas into real use. This means it is very important to think creatively about problems.
