Hello Fellow Knowledge Seekers,
It’s me again, your friendly Unfussy Scholar!
In my previous posts, I discussed in more detail the 4 life stages of financial planning. You can check them out to see which stage you are in.
For this post, I decided to move away from financial planning for now and will discuss what you can do to increase your income.
I believe it’s important that you’re earning as much as you can to allow you to afford, not just your responsibilities, but also the things you want.
I’m sure you don’t just want to earn money that will allow you to pay for all your obligations. You’d also want to earn enough money to be able to enjoy life.
Yes, there are many things you can do that don’t cost anything at all. But the reality is that many of the things that will allow you to live life the way you want it will cost money.
To help you increase your income, we’ll discuss the skills you need to learn for 2024. These skills will help you become more valuable and help you land high-paying jobs.
Let’s get started.
1. Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning
Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) are rapidly growing industries. AI is being used to automate tasks, making them very valuable in different fields and industries, particularly those that deal with big data.
People who are adept at developing and using AI are currently in demand and will continue to be in demand in the future. This is why experts in machine learning and natural language processing are also in demand.
Engineers in this field are responsible for creating and improving artificial intelligence. Even if you’re not an engineer, just knowing how to utilize AI will help you greatly.
2. Data Science & Analytics
Another in-demand skill would be data science and analytics. We now live in a data-driven world and companies need someone who can capture, understand, analyze, and interpret these data.
Data scientists are in charge of finding new ways to capture and analyze data. Data analysts are in charge of analyzing and interpreting the data acquired.
Learning at least one of these skills will help your career prospects in the future and help you to earn more.
3. UX/UI Design
User experience (UX) or user interface (UI) is another skill worth learning for 2024. UX/US designers are the ones who develop a user-friendly interface for websites and software.
With so many websites and software available, having a user-friendly interface is important. It will be harder to keep people interested if the company’s website or software has a complicated interface.
This is another skill that you can learn that will make you more attractive to companies or organizations.
4. Cybersecurity
The internet is becoming more and more important, not only for individuals but also for companies and governments. This is why cybersecurity is also a growing industry.
Cyber threats and risks are also becoming rampant. So, there’s a demand for cybersecurity experts right now to combat these threats.
If you’re thinking of getting into tech, cybersecurity is a good skill to learn. You’ll have a higher chance to command a high income if you have this skill.
5. Content Creation and Management
Tech skills are important, but they’re not the only skills you can learn to earn more. Another in-demand skill right now is content creation and management.
Companies and even individuals are looking for people who can create and manage content for them. This includes written content, graphics, audio, and video.
As a content creator, you need to not only create good content but also understand what audiences want. It’s a great skill that can help you earn more once you learn it.
6. Robotics
Going back to tech skills, we have robotics. Technology continues to advance and one of the industries that are expected to grow is robotics.
This is why there’s demand for people who are capable of creating, operating, and maintaining robots. It’s a good skill to learn, especially if you’re interested in robots.
It will make you very valuable and allow you to command higher income.
7. Digital Marketing
Digital marketing is another great skill to learn, especially with the continued rise of online content. This skill will allow you to promote and advertise the content to attract audiences.
The digital marketing skill encompasses various skills, including social media marketing, SEO, pay-per-click, and so on. You can choose to specialize and learn one or two, or generalize and be able to do all.
One great thing about digital marketing is that it’s also a skill you can use if you want to start your own online business.
8. Project Management
The last valuable skill you can learn to help you earn more in 2024 is project management. This refers to a person’s ability to successfully lead and manage projects.
It’s an important skill for many companies because they want capable individuals who can properly oversee their projects without any issues.
It’s also a good skill to develop since it will also help you become good at communication, managing time, and leading.
There are many more skills that you can learn to help you earn more money in 2024. But the ones listed above are some of the best ones you can learn.

Keep on learning.
