When it comes to job security in the future, instead of acting "professional" you may want to act more human.

- Dell and the Institute for the Future recently conducted a study that found 85 percent of the jobs in 2030 don't exist today.

- Having the conversation with kids on what they want to be when they grow up is becoming increasingly irrelevant because of this. They will need to be more adaptable for what future jobs may arise.

- We commonly describe a "professional" as someone who can do the same thing multiple times with the same result. However, where A.I. is most effective is in producing the same output via consistent, repeatable activity. Because of this, it's being as "unprofessional" as possible that may secure a job — that is, acting in a way that is not predictable. Acting on your humanity may enable you to thrive.
