More than 750,000 office and administrative support jobs are projected to disappear from the US economy by 2035 And at the same time, some professions are projected to grow by more than 40%.

So if you're choosing what to study, thinking about changing careers or wondering whether your skills will still be valuable in five years, this video will help you understand where demand is growing, what these jobs pay and what it takes to get into them. Today, we're looking at 10 growing careers ranked by median salary from lowest to highest. And at the end, I'll also show you the five fastest declining occupations in the country, plus a simple way to identify which parts of your own work you should start rethinking. Because here's the surprising part. Some of the jobs AI can help with are still growing. So choosing your next career based only on what AI can do could lead you in the wrong direction. So here's how we built this list. I started with the 10 occupations the Bureau of Labor Statistics projects will grow fastest through 2035 They scored 831 occupations based on how much AI can potentially affect the work inside them. They call this AI exposure. In simple terms, it measures how much of the work inside a job AI could potentially do or help with. And here's what surprised me. Of the 206 occupations with the highest AI exposure, 141 are still projected to grow over the next 10 years. So it's not like AI is wiping them out. That's 68%.

So high AI exposure does not mean a profession is going to disappear. It's mostly meant changing. Because when we think about AI augmenting jobs, it augments certain tasks inside the job. They're not the same thing as replacement risk. And for the AI context, a Bureau of Labor Statistics combined five research sources, including RealClaude and Microsoft Copilot Usage, mapped to workplace tasks. So we'll go from number 10 to number 1, and then we'll wrap up with the disappearing professions. We start this list with a profession that earns just over $100,000, management analysts. In plain English, those are consultants. The people companies hire to figure out how to do work better. This is the job that should be shrinking, right? Because you can ask AI anything. Very high exposure to AI augmentation, because it's deliverables is something that AI can generate. Research, analysis, slides and recommendations. Exactly what AI is best at. But here's what's happening instead. Plus 109,000 jobs. And here's why. Every company on earth is trying to restructure itself around AI and most have no idea how. The restructuring is the product. When Satya Nadella, CEO of Microsoft, pushed back on the white collar apocalypse framing in June, his line was, how about we think about reorganizing the jobs? Somebody gets paid to do that reorganizing. And the openings? 94,000 every single year. One of the most horrible jobs on the list. Number 9

This is the one nobody puts on these lists and it's the smartest bet in the data set. These are people who train nurses, pharmacists, physical therapists, physician assistants and entire healthcare workforce this decade depends on. Plus 17.9%.

The logic behind this is healthcare is adding roughly a third of all new American jobs. Those millions have to be taught by somebody. And in healthcare, you legally cannot scale teaching with a chatbot. Clinical training requires supervised human hours. Whenever you see a field exploding, ask who trains the workforce. That job is usually undervalued and underbooked. The barrier is real, though you need a doctoral or a professional degree. This is a decade long play, not a six month switch. Now, let's leave the laptop economy entirely for this job. Constructors' managers run job sites. They figure out budgets, schedules, subcontractors, inspectors, plus 55,000 jobs, nearly 50,000 openings a year. And here's the connection to everything else in this video. AI has a physical footprint. Data centers, power plants, chip fabs. Every AI announcement you read this year eventually becomes a construction project with a manager and a hard head.
