Hello, everyone.
This is Enta.
The other day, I wrote an article about blue-collar and white-collar workers.
Personally, I was thinking, “Let’s just make the best of it,” but in reality, white-collar workers are already being replaced by AI, lol.
Please take a look at the X post below.
It was white-collar workers whose jobs were taken by AI.
When I looked at this morning’s Nikkei, I couldn’t help but say, “I knew it.”
A shift is taking place in youth employment in the U.S. As AI advances rapidly, it is the college-educated “elite” who are bearing the brunt of the impact.
Meanwhile, enrollment at vocational training schools has surged. … pic.twitter.com/9lQ7v5DJiu

In the United States, it appears that white-collar workers are being replaced by AI and are switching to blue-collar jobs or finding new employment in those fields.
In five years or more, our line of work might actually become more popular.
Is our time finally coming!? Is it finally our time!? Feels like it, lol.
In particular, our pay as slope engineers is about 10–20 percent higher than that of regular civil engineers.
Even among people of the same age, there can be a difference of that magnitude.
Based on a quick online search, it's roughly 1.2 to 1.6 times.
If you're going to do civil engineering work anyway, you might as well get paid a little more, right?
That said, on the other hand, there are many places that are far away.
I travel a lot for work, so that can be a challenge.
I love business trips—I want to see and try all kinds of things in other prefectures and regions!
There are a lot of weirdos among slope contractors, too, lol.
On the other hand, the fact that you get to work in places where people can’t go is part of the appeal, isn’t it?
I'm scared of heights!
People tend to think it’s way too dangerous, but in reality, it’s surprisingly not that bad, which leaves many people feeling a bit let down.
Just putting on a fall arrest device (safety harness) gives you an incredible sense of security.
Also, even when I'm up high, I'm so focused on the soil and gravel right in front of me while I work that I don't really feel the height that much.
I, too, am afraid of heights and hate being up high, so I don't like Ferris wheels.
But maybe I'd feel safer if I wore a safety harness!? lol
It’s possible that we’ll see more university-educated slope engineers in the future.
We'd like to respond by taking this new direction into account!!
It looks like trends among young Japanese people might be changing over the next five years.
Well, it's just a possibility, so I can't really say for sure, lol.
The strength of having a marketable skill provides stability even when revolutions or major events occur in the world.
After all, our hands are brimming with technical expertise!
This 100% foolproof technique will stay with you for the rest of your life.
Now all that's left is to polish this up.
We're simply committed to developing technology that never compromises.
Let's keep working on it!
See you later.
