What unites nursing, occupational therapy, counseling, clinical psychology, teaching, and social work? Four traits that protect them from automation:
Emotional intelligence: Empathy, trust, and compassion cannot be programmed.
Adaptability: Human interactions do not follow predictable patterns.
Ethical judgment: Decisions in healthcare, education, and counseling often involve moral nuance.
Meaningful relationships: Success is measured in connection, not efficiency.
For students considering their futures, the takeaway isn’t to avoid technology. The most successful professionals will be those who know how to leverage AI while doubling down on human skills.
