I. **Find out what your own pension is betting on.** Through funds like Scottish Mortgage, many UK pensions and ISAs are already exposed to the AI-and-space wave that floated today. Knowing what you hold isn't acting on it — it's just understanding the bet being made with your money.

II. **Read this week's jobs news for your school-leaver, not at them.** The new Early Careers support is real but slow; this summer's graduate-scheme and apprenticeship openings are the concrete thing — help them apply now rather than wait for the policy to mature.

III. **Sit with Tomás's question for a minute.** Whatever you make of the jobs panic, "who gets the gains when a machine makes my work faster?" is worth asking about your own role before someone answers it for you.
