A mere 25 years ago, almost half of today’s most dynamic careers did not exist. Experts estimate that in another 25 years, almost all growing careers will be in fields or specialties that do not exist right now.
But there are hints of what’s to come. So with that thought in mind, here are our top 10 careers of the future.
.
10. Virtual computing security specialists
Before you continue reading about the Top 10 Future Careers there is a special announcement we would like to share with you. Catalogs.com has negotiated special medicare rates for our vibrant community of seniors. If you are over the age of 60, you can head over to our Seniors Health Section which is full of information about medicare. All you need is your zip code and a few minutes of your time to potentially save 100s of dollars on your medicare bills.
How do you keep computers and data secure when the machines go away? With the growth in cloud computing, and developments in bio-based computing, security specialists will be needed to develop ways to keep information flowing – and safe.
9. Remote surgeons
Instead of mastery with a scalpel, the surgeons of tomorrow will need to have expertise in performing surgery over vast distances via computers and robotic assistants.
8. Xenobiologists
With growing advancements in space exploration, previously earth-bound zoologists and bontonists will probably have to contend with noncarbon-based life forms and new types of beings.
7. Genetic designers
Like it or not, the age of genetic design is almost upon us. Specialists who can create designer babies, remove genetic flaws and redesign failing bodies will be among the top careers of the future.
6. Interspace commercial pilots
Not all the careers of the future will be glamourous or exotic. Commercial pilots who now carry passengers from New York to Paris will be replaced with pilots whose route includes other planets or space stations.
5. Lawyers
As life continues to become more complex, the need for lawyers will continue to grow well into the next century. Courtrooms, however may change, as virtual hearings allow clients, judges and attorneys to gather without leaving home.
4. Virtual reality actors
Computer games, once limited to a few blocks of light engaged in a primitive game of tennis, have become more and more realistic. Actors who can respnd to players’ moves for a full immersion experience will open up new opportunities for performers in the decades to come.
3. Food scientists
As the human population grows, scientists who can develop sustainable crops and less dangerous ways to deal with pests will be in demand across the globe.
2. Space tour guides
As space travel becomes more commonplace, tourists will demand guided tours. The people who now bring you and hour and half of chatter on a duck boat will be able to transfer their skills to a flight to Mars or the latest interplanetry Holiday Inn.
