This is the advice of internationâ€" allyâ€"renowned Canadian futures planner Frank Feather, who was in Waterloo Tuesday to open Wilfrid Laurier University‘s Future of Work Series. â€"_*"You have to describe very clearâ€" ly what it is you want inside in terms of your gut feeling and real desire ... and, then if you get this vision, you have to stay committed to it ... try to compromise as little as possible and not let people sidetrack you," Feather told the gathering of apâ€" proximately 40. According to Feather, Canadians have been "hypnotized" into believâ€" ing in a false picture of the world as revolving around the northern hemisphere and the Atlantic Ocean. But to determine where the jobs of tomorrow will be, the key is to understand that ours is an ‘"upside down world" in a state of massive social, political, economic and techâ€" nological change. . Socially, the job place and marâ€" ketplace are being affected by the women‘s movement, the aging of our society, the concern for better health, explained Feather. Politiâ€" cally, there‘s a movement towards decentralization, economically the centre of gravity is shifting to the Pacific rim and the largest market is in the developing countries. *"*You have to have the guts to be headstrong, to take risks and move bravely into the future that we think we‘re here to achieve." However, overriding all, is the impact the electronics revolution has had and will continue to have. "It‘s the biggest revolution humanâ€" kind has ever seen," said Feather Electronics has catapulted us into the information age where intellecâ€" tual capital replaces hard physical work. Ours will be a leisure society, with a 20â€"hour work week, creating new demands for new services. in 1985, 50 per cent of the Go with ‘feeling‘ for job success 1985 Waterloo Family Y 145 Lincoln Road Waterloo N2J 2N8 PROGRAMS 885â€"3500 e FIRST AID CARDIOâ€"PULMONARY RESUSCITATION e STRESS MANAGEMENT e SPORTS MEDICINE WORKSHOP e BASIC HEARTSAVER COURSE e LOVING HANDS (An Introduction to Massage) To succeed in this increasingly complex world, Feather maintained it will be necessary to have the skill to handle new information and knowledge in a "strategic way" to think globally, be creative and flexible. Reversing recent trends towards specialization, it will be important to have a generalized background, allowing you to adapt to change, and people will need the ‘"courage to let go of the past and take risks." Most of all people must be committed to the notion of lifelong education and recognize the need to constantly upgrade skills to stay ahead. Growth areas in terms of employ ment, said Feather, are health care, to service the needs of our aging population, and social sciences, as we try to explain human behaviour in our changing world. Recreation is a booming sector because of the growth in leisure time, and society will need technicians to service all that new electronic equipment. ‘"The best jobs of tomorrow are going to be much more challenging than those of today because we‘re dealing with almost a blank sheet of paper and you can create almost any job you want,"‘" concluded Feathcr. "Tomorrow‘s best jobs will be what I call the smart jobs, involving brain power, creative thinking, new knowledge and the synthesis of knowledge. Those that don‘t or can‘t acquire that new knowledge will be left with the dumb jobs." Already victims to the computer‘s advance are midâ€"level management jobs, as executives are able to tap right into the information they need, said Feather, noting that Ford Motor Company has announced it will lay off 20,000 midâ€"level managâ€" ers during the next five years. workforce was employed in white collar work, some 20 per cent in services and recreation, 18 per cent in blue collar jobs and 10 per cent in other sectors. Feather predicted that by 2011, the ratio will shift dramatically â€" 45 per cent will work in the service sector, less than 40 per cent in white collar jobs and blue collar workers will be largely a thing of the past.
