10 AI-Proof Jobs With Highest Pay, Fastest Growth
A new report from career resources platform Resume Genius finds the top 10 AI-proof careers expected to see the most growth within the next decade. Is AI coming for your job? Goldman Sachs predicted in a 2023 report that AI could replace 300 million full-time jobs. McKinsey wrote in the same year that 375 million workers may be displaced by AI by 2030. As workers increasingly face the threat of automation, researchers at the career resources platform Resume Genius looked at the top professions with the lowest risk of being replaced by AI. In a new report released Thursday, the researchers found 10 roles that met the criteria: high pay (at least $49,500), high job growth (above 10% for 2023 to 2033), and a low automation risk (below 50%). The researchers evaluated various professions using pay data and projected job growth rates from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. They also assessed automation risk using a probability calculator. Related: 'Fully Replacing People': A Tech Investor Says These Two Professions Should Be the Most Wary of AI Taking Their Jobs All of the careers that met the challenge are in the healthcare and applied science industries. "AI can write code and crunch numbers, but it can't comfort a patient or make a call in a crisis," said Resume Genius lead career expert Eva Chan. "The safest jobs right now are the most human ones. The fastest-growing work today depends on care, judgment, and presence, which are all things AI still can't do." The median annual salaries for these jobs range from $62,580 to $149,910. Related: Amazon CEO Tells Employees AI Will Replace Their Jobs in the 'Next Few Years' AI industry experts have been sounding the alarm about AI replacing jobs for months. Geoffrey Hinton, called the "Godfather of AI" for his pioneering AI research, stated in an interview last month that "AI is just going to replace everybody" in white-collar jobs. The Nobel Prize winner said on an episode of the podcast "Diary of a CEO" that "a person and an AI assistant" would be able to replace the jobs that "10 people did previously." Meanwhile, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei said in May that within the next five years, AI could cause unemployment to rise 20% as the technology wipes out half of all entry-level, white-collar jobs. To avoid the impending job cuts, here are 10 AI-proof jobs, according to Resume Genius. 1. Computer and information research scientist Median salary: $149,910 Estimated job growth: 26% AI job takeover risk: 31% 2. Physician assistant Median salary: $133,260 Estimated job growth: 28% AI job takeover risk: 0% 3. Nurse practitioner Median salary: $132,050 Estimated job growth: 40% AI job takeover risk: 0% 4.

10 AI-Safe, Highest-Paying Jobs, Some With Six-Figure Salaries
Many jobs are being replaced by AI, but many in-demand, high-paying jobs that don't require AI ... More skills are growing fast, paying as much as $150K annually. According to Gallup, 22% of U.S. workers are worried they will lose their jobs to generative AI—a seven percent increase since 2021. Companies are moving faster than expected to replace positions, and many workers are seeking the in-demand roles AI has created to future-proof their jobs by 2030. But what about job seekers who are not AI-prepared or not looking for AI positions? If you're hunting for AI-safe, highest-paying jobs that are in demand and paying high salaries, you've come to the right place. 10 AI-Safe, Highest-Paying Jobs Worried job seekers, unprepared for AI-required positions, are lost in the job market. Many are taking steps to outsmart AI by focusing on jobs AI can't do. Some have sought side hustles that don't require AI. And others are searching for roles AI won't replace. To help these job seekers, Resume Genius just released its 2025 Fastest-Growing, AI-Proof Jobs Report. Their analysis showcases the 10 fastest-growing and highest-paying jobs that AI won't replace. 'AI can write code and crunch numbers, but it can't comfort a patient or make a call in a crisis," says Eva Chan, career expert at Resume Genius. "The safest jobs right now are the most human ones. The fastest-growing work today depends on care, judgment and presence, which are all things AI still can't do.' To identify these jobs, Resume Genius researchers used data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics to pinpoint 10 professions that are predicted to have a fast growth rate above 10% from 2023 to 2030. They calculated an automation risk below 50% using an automation risk probability calculator. Each jobs has a U.S. annual median salary of $49,500 or more. The 10 professions that qualified for a top ten position meet the criteria posed by the researchers. Healthcare engineering fields dominate the list, offering high earning potential and long-term stability in a world impacted by AI. The list is ordered from highest-to-lowest salary, followed by estimated job growth and AI job takeover risk. 1. Computer and information research scientist ($149,910). 26% job growth, AI takeover risk: 31%. Master's degree required. The researchers state that, 'While AI tools can assist with data analysis and simulation, they can't replicate the human creativity and scientific reasoning needed to build entirely new systems.' The skills for this field are nearly impossible for AI to carry out because they require an understanding of theoretical computer science, original problem-solving and the ability to think abstractly. 2. Physician assistant ($133,260). 28% job growth, AI takeover risk: 0%. Master's degree required. The researchers cite McKinsey & Company, who explain that healthcare has the lowest overall potential for AI replacement because only 35% of a health care provider's time can be automated. 3. Nurse practitioner ($132,050). 40% job growth, AI takeover risk: o%. Master's degree required. Although AI can enhance patient care and data collection, the researchers point out that nurse practitioner jobs are AI-Proof because they must be able to solve complex problems, be creative and have strong interpersonal skills. 4. Veterinarian ($125,510). 19% job growth, AI takeover risk: seven percent. Doctorate or professional degree required. The researchers indicate that this profession is AI proof because veterinarians must have an extensive understanding of animal biology, sharp manual dexterity for surgery, along with interpersonal skills to communicate animal conditions to owners. 5. Medical and health services manager ($117,960). 29% job growth, AI takeover risk: 16%. Bachelor's degree required. Experts agree that these jobs can't be automated because AI isn't capable of the interpersonal skills, ethics and physical dexterity required. 6. Speech-language pathologist ($95,410). 18% job growth, AI takeover risk: nine percent. Master's degree required. According to experts, AI can't replicate the high degree of personal interaction and emotional intelligence to diagnose and tailor treatments to each patient's unique needs and circumstances. 7. Operations research analyst ($91,290). 23% job growth, AI takeover risk: 42%. Bachelor's degree required. 'AI might speed up calculations, but it can't replace the analyst's skill in understanding messy real-world problems or in using judgment to guide decisions,' the researchers conclude. 8. Epidemiologist ($83,980). 19% job growth, AI takeover risk: seven percent. Master's degree required. The researchers comment that studies show AI tools increase the power of epidemiological research, but these professionals require a level of human judgment and ethical consideration that AI can't replicate. 9. Logistician ($80,880). 19% job growth, AI takeover risk: 38%. Bachelor's degree required. Logisticians plan and manage how products move from one place to another. The researchers contend that, 'AI can support logistics by boosting efficiency, but logisticians are necessary for ethical decision‑making, making their role far more than a set of data‑driven tasks and resilient to automation.' 10. Wind turbine technician ($62,580). 60% job growth, AI takeover risk: 39%. Post-secondary non-degree award. Wind turbine technicians install, inspect and repair wind turbines—working at heights in all kinds of weather, experts say, but human technicians are still essential for climbing turbines, performing safety checks and handling urgent repairs that require hands-on skill and on-the-spot judgment calls. Tips To Qualify For AI-Safe, Highest-Paying Jobs Resume Genius career experts agree that AI will likely create more jobs than it eliminates. Yet, they emphasize that your ability to continuously adapt and develop new skills will be the key to success in the future job market. If you excel in creativity, emotional intelligence and problem-solving skills, the experts insist you'll always be in high demand because AI struggles to imitate soft skills like these. The career experts believe it's important that you remember AI is your friend, not your enemy. They advocate using it as a tool to increase your productivity. 'AI can help automate repetitive tasks, allowing employees to focus on more complex and creative aspects of the job that require human judgment,' they assert. 'By familiarizing themselves with AI-powered tools rather than avoiding them, workers can ensure they remain competitive in the job market.' Resume Genius experts advise that you monitor AI and tech-related advancements in your field by reading industry news and attending professional events to stay informed. They suggest that understanding these trends will help you anticipate changes and adapt your skill set accordingly. They encourage you to take courses or attend workshops that focus on emerging technologies and methodologies in your industry to stay ahead of your peers. Chan believes that AI-safe, highest-paying jobs will flourish. 'Healthcare and science jobs will continue to grow,' she adds, 'Many of this year's top roles, like nurse practitioners, physician assistants and speech-language pathologists, rely on emotional intelligence, real-time decision-making and face-to-face interaction. These are skills AI isn't built to handle, and they're exactly what will keep people employed in an increasingly automated job market.'

5 Tips For Ending A Job Interview On A High Note
Much of the advice doled out to entry-level graduates for job interviews is based on putting your ... More best foot forward at the beginning, but it's also important to know how to end the interview on a positive note. If you're a job seeker this graduation season, you've probably gotten a lot of suggestions on how to make the job search as successful as possible. Chances are the first piece of advice you get is how to complete a compelling application, followed by how to prepare for the job interview. You make sure to manage your jitters, dress the part and conduct yourself in a manner that helps you land the position. But one piece of advice that's often missing is tips for ending a job interview on an high note. Preparation Before, During And Ending A Job Interview If you're an entry-level applicant, worried about what's on the line before an upcoming job interview, it's only natural to feel some stress. Eva Chan, career expert at Resume Genius, says preparation is your biggest ally against stress. In the face of interview anxiety, she recommends making yourself feel as prepared as possible. 'The era of social media offers a unique opportunity to understand a company inside and out,' she notes, suggesting that you do a deep dive into the company's online presence, including social media and professional platforms like LinkedIn. "Get to know your interviewer's background and interests, as well. This level of preparation does more than just provide talking points; it'll empower you with the confidence that comes from being well-informed.' During the job interview, it's important to remember that you need to do more than just passively answer the interviewer's questions and present your qualifications. Don't forget that you're also interviewing the company to decide if it's a good option for you just as much as they're assessing you. This mindset can empower you from the beginning to the end of the interview. Instead of just answering questions, make sure you're actively asking them. Recruiters are impressed with candidates who show genuine interest in the position by asking thoughtful questions because it demonstrates an applicant's interest. Chan says these questions could relate to company culture, team dynamics, success metrics for the role or current challenges the company is facing. Ending A Job Interview With A Closing Statement Have you ever had that sinking feeling at the end of a conversation when it feels like words are left hanging in the air? When that happens, you can feel the tension, as if there's a comma instead of a period at the end of a sentence. In the 2025 job market, paying attention to how you finish the interview is like putting a period at the end of a sentence. You don't want the recruiter to forget you, so it's essential to let them know why they should hire you. The end of an interview is your last chance to leave a lasting impression. Think of ending the interview as putting a period at the end of a sentence that ties up the conversation. An effective closing statement is a positive and brief summary of your most compelling skills and experiences that demonstrate what you have to offer the employer, along with your genuine desire to be part of the company's team. Most interviewers expect your closing words to underscore your interest in the position and ways your skills and expertise align with the position and the company's goals. Tips For Ending A Job Interview On A High Note I spoke with Kara Ayers, senior vice president of global talent acquisition at Xplor Technologies, who shared five tips on how to finish your job interview on a high note. 1. End on an upbeat. Ayers emphasizes the importance of expressing gratitude by thanking the interviewer for her/his time and the opportunity to learn more about the role and company. She stresses that you clearly state your excitement about the position and company culture and how it aligns with both your personal and career skills, competencies and goals. End with confidence, use a positive tone and a quick summary of why you're a strong fit and the impact you believe you could make. 2. Ask thoughtful questions. Ayers advises that you show curiosity and ask about the team, culture and future company goals. Then match your responses to how they align to your personal and professional goals and values. At the end, she says to remember to ask about timeline and what to expect after the interview. 3. Add in something the interviewer doesn't ask about. Ayers suggests that you have something in your back pocket (an experience, achievement or relevance to the role/culture of the company) to share at the end. She gives the example of saying something like, 'Before we wrap up, there's one more thing I would love to share that is relevant or important for you to know about me.' She mentions she also likes to ask, 'Is there anything that I didn't explain clearly about my experience that you have questions about?' or 'Is there anything that concerns you about my fit for this role?' Ayers explains that this allows you to follow up and ensure you're not walking away with any gaps in understanding. 'If it is a lack of experience, you could always follow up with examples of how you have learned new skills quickly,' she adds. 4. Close the interview by sharing your interests and qualifications. You suggests saying something like, 'I'm even more excited about this role after our conversation," then explain why. 'Reinforce how your experience aligns to the role and do it with energy,' she recommends. 'Include 'I can't wait to start to contribute and make a meaningful impact to 'x' organization. Always leave with, 'I look forward to hearing from you and would appreciate any feedback, regardless of the decision/outcome," she advises. 5. Follow up after the interview. 'Always send a thank-you note after to the interviewer or team, handwritten, email, LinkedIn message or any other medium,' Ayers says. "If you forgot to mention something during the interview that is relevant, include it. It's easy to forget about accomplishments or even if you feel you didn't answer a question the best, follow up with, 'I don't feel I addressed your question about x, I wanted to follow back up on that to clarify.'' A Final Takeaway On Ending A Job Interview On A High Note Chan suggests that job seekers remember the interview is an opportunity for both job applicants and companies to assess compatibility. Her advice is that you, 'Approach the interview as a conversation, not an interrogation, where both parties explore the potential of a mutually beneficial relationship." When you shift your mindset from being solely evaluated to also evaluating the potential employer, it can help in diminishing your anxiety, transforming the conversation into one of mutual exploration and ending the job interview on a high note.

5 ‘new-collar' jobs that pay over $100,000 and don't require a bachelor's degree
If you don't have a four-year degree, but want a six-figure salary and a flexible work schedule, a so-called "new-collar" job might be the perfect fit for you. This growing job category is "modern and skills first" — prioritizing skills and experience over a four-year degree, says Eva Chan, career expert at Resume Genius. Most of the roles, such as marketing manager or human resources manager, require some level of specialized skills or training. But with relatively low barriers to entry and no manual labor, new-collar jobs can be a good fit for anyone, Chan says. She says the project-based, remote-friendly nature of new-collar roles makes them particularly well suited for Gen Z — a generation with changing work ideals. "I think new collar jobs offer what Gen Z job seekers would value, which is flexibility, fair pay, the ability to grow based on your skills, rather than just credentials," Chan says. If you're interested in finding a new-collar job well suited for you, accumulating relevant volunteer experiences or certifications can help you stand out to employers, Chan says. Just like for any role, she recommends combing through LinkedIn to find people in your desired field and setting up time to chat one-on-one. Additionally, Resume Genius identified the top-paying roles using insights from career forums, job descriptions and U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics' Occupational Outlook Handbook and education data. Resume Genius did not include jobs with an automation risk above 50%, per their calculations. Here are the top-paying new-collar jobs of 2025 that are in-demand and unlikely to get taken over by a robot, according to Resume Genius. Marketing mangers help companies engage and expand their audiences through researching, developing and executing promotional campaigns. If you have a knack for video and photo editing, search engine optimization and social media, you may find that a marketing manager role is a good fit for you. If you're interested in this role and don't have a four-year degree, Chan recommends creating a portfolio that helps employers see your creative skills. This could entail compiling YouTube videos you have made throughout the years or showcasing a social media platform you have helped to grow. Learning Google analytics through Google's free tool suite can be a good added bonus for employers too, she adds. Human resources managers act as a liaison between companies and employees, enforcing workplace policies and establishing employee guidelines. They are also typically involved in hiring and onboarding new employees. If you have a background in administration, recruiting or customer service, this role might be a good fit for you, Chan says. Although some universities offer human resources as a major, a four-year degree isn't necessary to break into the field, she says. Instead, you can obtain a relevant online certification, like the Associate Professional in Human Resources (aPHR) certification or Society for Human Resources Certified Professional (SHRM-CP) certification. Sales managers set sales targets, then coach and manage a team of sales representatives toward reaching those goals. Most people who become sales managers start out in sales representative or account executive positions, according to Resume Genius. If you're successfully driving sales for your company in one of these roles and hope to advance to a higher-paying position, demonstrating your passion for leadership, knack for data-tracking and in-depth product knowledge can be a good way to show your readiness, Chan says. Computer network architects design and build computer communication systems, tailored toward a company's specific goals. A background in IT work or experience setting up computer networks can help demonstrate readiness for this role — even if your experience is as simple as setting up a network at home or for a friend, Chan says. Some aspiring computer network architects will start out as support specialists or network technicians to break into the field, according to Resume Genius. Once you start to build mastery in one of those roles, it's a good idea to explore relevant online certification options like the CompTIA Network+ or Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA) certifications to advance toward a computer network architect position, per Resume Genius' report. General and operations managers are responsible for how their company runs — managing resources, teams, departments and projects. Team or project management experience is a great way to show the value you could bring to this role, Chan says. If a past job hasn't provided you with that experience, documenting a volunteer role can help to fill the gap, she adds. Many general and operations managers work their way up to the position within their respective companies by demonstrating skills in organization or team management, Chan says. Some also step into the role from different team leadership positions in related fields, per Resume Genius' data.

Here Are the 10 Highest-Paying New-Collar Jobs, No Degree
"New-collar" jobs often put practical skills above formal education. And the jobs can pay quite well, according to a new report. IBM first used the phrase "new-collar jobs" in 2018 to describe roles where degrees are optional, and instead emphasize skills, certifications, or on-the-job training. These careers, such as a sales engineer or marketing manager, often put practical skills above formal education. And according to new data, the jobs can pay quite well. Resume Genius recently released a report highlighting the highest-paying new-collar jobs, based on an analysis of U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics data, automation risk scores from the third-party tool "Will Robots Take My Job?", and job listings on Indeed to determine if the roles offered remote or hybrid work. The jobs were selected for their high pay (median salary of at least $100,000), absence of a four-year degree requirement, availability of remote or hybrid work, and having less than a 50% chance of being automated by AI. Related: These Are the 10 Highest-Paying Jobs With the Lowest Stress, According to a New Report "New-collar roles challenge the idea that a degree is the only path to success," stated Eva Chan, career expert at Resume Genius, in an email. "By showcasing practical skills, a portfolio of work, or even strong referrals, people can build meaningful, well-paying careers without racking up more student debt or spending years in school." While landing a new collar job can be different than a traditional white-collar job, which usually requires a four-year degree, or a blue-collar job, which can involve physical labor with specific skill sets, candidates set themselves up for success when applying to new-collar jobs by earning certifications that match the job, freelancing to gain a strong portfolio of work and exposure, and networking.
