Thank you for having me.
There are probably some people listening, right, who they really do want to do good for the world.
They really do care about that.
But they just don't think that they're going to take one of these AI-focused jobs.
You know, maybe they don't think that they're well-suited to any kind of AI-related roles.
Alternatively, it might just be that they feel like they're not in a good position to change their careers right now.
What do you say to these people?
Is there anything specific in the book for them?
Hey listeners, Zashana here.
If you enjoy what we do at 80,000 Hours and you're interested in joining our team, then you should check out the Work With Us page on our website because 80,000 Hours is growing.
We're hiring for lots of roles, so I think there are nine listed at the moment, and they're across several of our teams.
Plus, if you like hearing our guest today, Ben Todd, who gives some advice on careers that do good, then you might be especially interested in the product manager role on our web team.
In that role, you'd be helping our online advice about high-impact careers resonate with and reach more people.
Okay, that's it from me.
On with the show.
Today, I'm speaking with Ben Todd.
Ben is actually one of the co-founders of 80,000 Hours, and he's just published a book also called 80,000 Hours, which is all about finding a career that does good.
So it covers a bunch of advice, including what makes for a dream job, what skills are most likely to be automated soon, which problems are most important for people to be working on, how to network and many, many other things.
So today I want to talk to Ben about his wider views on AI that have shaped a lot of the book, as well as how people should actually be making career decisions in these quite uncertain times.
Ben, thank you so much for coming on the show.
