I want to learn some evergreen skills which won't be affected by artificial intelligence or won't be obselete in next years

These are the skills few people suggested to me:
1) Sales
2) Copywriting
3) Paid advertising

What are your thoughts & which skill do you think I should learn?

Patience and being able to take shit from your boss/client even when it's not your fault. If I mastered that, I would be living on easy street right now.
 
I'd say programming and understanding the basics of SEO and optimization are a couple other good evergreen skills. On top of that, business networking, accounting, how to make a business plan... basically "Business 101" in case you ever want to hire your services out.
 
How to sell, anywhere and anything.
Learn how to trade ANYTHING.
Everyone has a need yet to be filled. Fill it and they will give you what you want.
 
Software engineering. Actual software engineering, not shitty Python scripts you use to automate menial tasks. I'm calling it rn, developers will be paid higher than doctors within 10 years and their job will NEVER be phased out by any sort of automative technology

why Python over any other language?

I mean learn some enterprise level technology like Spring, Angular, React, whatever is currently "in". Makes you very hireable. I don't have a degree in computer science but get many many offers from headhunters on LinkedIn. It's easily the best paying and most in demand field after medicine, and I'm confident it'll beat even being a doctor very soon

Why I mentioned python is generally it's more used for sys admins and security professionals since it's a scripting language and doesn't scale to enterprise levels like say Java or C++ would

seriously? why do you think a machine can't flip the burgers? its a repetitive task & its very straight forward
 
There isn't one real answer. It is hard to learn sales without doing it and seeing what works and what doesn't.
The same goes for copywriting. You may get good at it, but if you can't find clients, then there's no point in knowing the skill.
Paid advertising is a good skill to learn. But it's hard, so be ready to burn some cash very fast.

Any of the IT skills are worth it, like programming, web design, SEO.
 
Learn things which require humans skils, even after all these tech advancements. Just my opinion. Like I am accountant. People need accountant no matter what.

Sales - face to face? Stores are closing down quicker than they can open (at least in the UK) with competition online and local councils only raising business rates it puts the pressure on the store, effects cash flow and they close. Door 2 Door is slowly closing... your going to be left with phone sales and googles AI is already doing a good job of sounding like a real person online they only have to teach it a script...

Copywriting plenty of machine writing going on.

Paid advertising.. again print is a slowly dying medium, leaves you online, the interface on setting up a pay per click advert is only getting easier as the AI behind it grows.

All 3 you mentioned, in my opinion, are going to be vulnerable to AI in the near future.

If I was you and you wanted to learn something id go with a trade. Build up your experience and you will always have work, I can see robots being used to lay bricks but to come into someones home and build something I think that's still a way off. The same will go as things become more and more mass produced there will be a surge I think in hand made crafts, people will appreciate craftmanship once more and that will be an area to exploit.
 
Organization is the biggest imo. It’s wild how quickly things fall apart when you’re not organized.
