Conventional jobs are old. Droids are taking over. Are you ready for the change?
Ash Fox is in an unconventional entrepreneur. She is a ‘marriage proposal planner’ and a photographer in New York City. Yes, you heard me right. The woman gets paid for planning marriage proposals. She works with men and women from around the world and helps them propose to their loved ones. She walks them through what goes into a proposal, helps them anticipate what may happen, how their loved ones will react and calms their nerves. She gets this all done, single-handedly. On an average she plans about two proposals a week and has planned over 10,000 proposals till date. Her belief is that everybody is different and it’s important to know what your partner will like and making their proposal unique to them.
When I first heard about Ash, I was impressed with her new era age job. The idea is truly exceptional and wonderful..
ROBOTICS AND AI ARE STEALING OUR JOBS
In the 90s, I remember parents often telling their kids that it’s important to land in a good job for a secure future. But ever since the world has entered into the digital arena, it has become quite obvious that being in a regular job is the least secure future you can choose for yourself. With the rise of robots and automation, jobs are falling. Recently in India, a woman in her 50s with an annual package of 1 crore was laid off by an IT giant.
Can we still count on old days’ so-called secure jobs? Will you still say that getting a highly paid job is synonymous to securing your future? Will this woman be able to get even half of her package at her age?

Starting With A Silver Spoon Is Not Essential To Be Wealthy
Yes, probably we all envy the Mittals, the Kapoors, the Mallyas! Not because they are billionaires, but because the coming generation would also inherit the wealth and affluence that has been there since years. Perhaps, the great grandson of Vijay Mallya would be able to spend his entire life slurging and indulging into luxury without even stepping out of his house!
