Want to be a lawyer but don't think I'm smart enough?
Hear me out on this one... There is this book I'm reading called "The New Psyco-Cybernetics" by Dr.Maxwell Maltz. And explains how we are all created equal, but somewhere down the road we start creating beliefs that sets our personalities. To either believe we can accomplish something or utterly fail trying. Truth is, you can be a great lawyer, but you are telling yourself you're not smart enough. Based on what??? Don't allow yourself to put yourself down, nor anybody else. Read good books, because what you put into your mind, is what comes out of your mouth.
I feel so dumb like I am not smart enough for college?
Well, I am a college student and a lot of the people around me are really very smart and intelligent. They just study very little but end up doing amazing. Even if I study and put in a lot of effort, I don't even do half as well as them and I have trying to work on my limitations like not getting too stressed for exams. But it just isn't working out at all, no matter how much I try. I feel burnt out, tired and extremely stupid- like I'll never do as well as I want to. And it is really getting to me, like really badly through really low self-esteem. Grades have been the things I have been obsessing over and I do dream of going to a really good graduate school with a good scholarship. But I feel like I am not really intelligent enough for neither my undergrad(let alone grad.) Any tips on how I can do well at college?

Do you have to be smart to be a dentist?
I know these other answers are bringing you down, so I'd like to offer some advice. I have had similar thoughts too, although I am at a university. A VERY helpful site called student-doctor network (sdn.net) is what got me to stop that thinking. From all the information I found there, I can tell you that what you need to do is get the best grades you can in community college and then transfer to a university as soon as it is possible. I am not just saying this, dental schools want your per-requisites completed at an accredited 4-year university.
I don't feel like I'm smart enough to go to college, but everyone keeps telling me I should. What should I do?
Check out trade schoolsIs there a trade that appeals to you? Plumbing, electrician, medical assistant, massage therapy, etcThey're generally much less expensive, so your student loan debt won't take as long to pay off.Take a year off to focus on finding yourself.A lot of people might frown on this, but the potential benefits are worth far more than jumping into something you aren't ready for.Travel! Go to places you've never been before, whether they're close to home or across the globe.Volunteer somewhere! There are programs local and abroad that involve everything from feeding the homeless, to digging wells for villages in other countries. You could volunteer at an animal shelter, and maybe you'll decide you want to be a vet or an animal behavior specialist. There are so many possibilities!Write a book! It doesn't ever have to be good enough to be published, but maybe you'll find you have a knack for it and might want to get a degree in literature or writing.Learn to play an instrument! Who knows, maybe you'll be the next big thing on the Billboard Top 40 or something?If you don’t want to, then don’t go to college!This is totally okay! There are a ton of jobs out there that will train someone who shows potential. Some will even pay for your education!Why live your life with tens of thousands of dollars hanging over your head?There is literally nothing that says you must go to college. It's a choice.Not everyone with a college degree manages to get a job in their field.Why go with no real plan for what you want to do with your life and career? That's honestly just a huge waste of your time and your money.Do what makes you happy. Don't settle for something just because people “expect” you to do so. Find your passion and follow it!
What will technology look like in the near future?
Lets trickel down to what is actually possible in the future :Smartphones will be integrated into human bodies.(There is intense research here for coming up with minimum hardware that can be implanted into human body).Computer chips are going to shrink and become much more smaller than you can image. You will probably need only one LCD screen. Thats it.Conference and meetings are going to happen in 3D world. No more business travelling. House hold articles know what to do themselves. ex:- A glass that can open the tap, fill water and shut tap again ( Trust me this is happening), lawn mover that mows own its own, machines that cook whatever you ask it to make.Cars that drive on their own, and PARK themselves. No more tension. Language barrier to be broken as live translators on smart glasses are already in prototype stage.LCD screen will start bending and using least power than ever before.Technologies that will make you happier by changing your mood. The above technologies are something that might be visible in 20 years form now. In 30 years everything would be virtually possible.On the flip side:Shortage of natural water and food to be the highest.Fuel resources on the brink of existence.There will be no more poverty. Poor people will just die. Uncontrollable pollution. Wall-E situation is not too far by now. No more heaters required. The world is already warm.Families will become obsolete. Being single is the new family. Girlfriends and boyfriends are now virtual.The day technology taking control of us has finally arrived.
What jobs/careers will be left after advances in AI and automation are made?
With some smart inventions and innovations, I feel, most of the jobs performed by human today, that are very repetitive, redundant, and unproductive in nature would be replaced by automated jobs/Robots. This would be done across the industries. Be it Agriculture, Mechanical and Automobile, Production, Chemical, Textile, IT etc.But the Transition would happen, only gradually, may be in next Five or Ten years.I have read an interesting article, every ten years once, today’s jobs will become irrelevant. New industries, Technologies and Products will be reforming the world replacing the older things that are not relevant.If I am smart enough to catch-up, I would still do my job with all the new tools and Technologies. I will see those as positive aspects, that reduces my manual effort and make my day productive.If I am not smart enough, NO WORRIES, WORLD IS VERY BIG WITH OPPORTUNITIES APLENTY :-)You know, human being is a smart enough to seek alternatives and continue the life.So my thought would be “Instead of being very anxious about losing jobs to robot, we can gear up to be in a better position, to create, handle and update those dumb machines”Possible preparation could be- Learning to automate things, learning current Trends in your industry (For eg in IT- Machine Learning algorithms, Big data analytics etc.), being aware about trends in other industriesUnknown is always unknown, let’s try to solve the known problems and live a happier life :-)
