The professions of the ice maker, the alarm clock, the video rental administrator now seem ridiculous and ridiculous, because home appliances can perform all of them. These posts wiped out technical progress. It is possible that in a few decades this list will be replenished with some of the modern specialties. Scientists futurists called the professions of the future, the list of which was formed into a special atlas.
What is the scope of your life?
If we consider the sought-after professions in the future, the most relevant areas will be:
- biology;
- information Technology;
- project and personnel management;
- chemistry;
- robotics;
- architecture;
- engineering and design.
Specialties will be developed that require the use of mental labor, as regards the physical - they will continue to be replaced with mechanical equipment.
Also, scientists note that you can choose any profession, but follow the technology and development in their industry. Employees may be required to have skills that meet new realities. Actual will be:
- system thinking;
- environmental protection;
- multilanguage;
- technical thinking;
- customer focus;
- project and people management;
- interdisciplinary communication;
- ability to work in uncertain conditions;
- non-standard thinking.
The development of robotics occurs at a rapid pace, The main bets are made on artificial intelligence, which will become a competitor of a person in employment. The employer does not have to hire people and pay for their work, because he can once spend money on a "smart" car.
Scientists called only 6 industriesin which the presence of a person is still required in the next 30 years:
- educational activities;
- medical practice;
- hospitality;
- household;
- the property;
- individual services.
In the field of households, housekeepers will be valuable, as well as people who help plan the budget or furnishing apartments. Hospitality encompasses the work of restaurants, hotels, travel companies, the entertainment industry. The individual services include activities of nannies, carers with sick people, psychologists.
What professions will be in demand in the future?
So far, the professions called futurists look unrealistic and even delusional. But their predictions are based on the development of science and technology. According to various sources, promising future professions can be formed into the following list.
1. VR designer
According to experts, the market for VR devices will expand. Wishing to immerse yourself in the interactive world will be more and more. The task of designers is to create a new space, realistic and comfortable. The creation of museums, offices and other virtual premises is predicted.
2. Lawyers in robotics
These are intermediaries between AI and man. Lawyers will develop ethical standards according to which artificial intelligence can exist in society. The need for this profession is quite understandable, as there is always the risk of the emergence of machines, intentionally deliberately harming a person. Does this look like a thriller plot? Then it is worth remembering that in the United States there is a document CONOP 8888, describing the plan of the conduct of military forces in case of a zombie apocalypse.
3. Virtual Guides
If virtual museums are being actively created, they probably will also need guides. Digital commentators will conduct an informative tour of the gallery, tell about the ancient history, introduce a new culture, and all this with the use of VR technology.
4. Biohackers
There are people who, on the basis of data from open access scientists, conduct their own research in the field of molecular biology. There are suggestions that soon biohackers in the form of freelancers will help scientists in solving the problems of finding medicines for serious diseases.
5. IoT analysts
IoT is the internet of things. Home appliances often have their own computer equipped with software. This allows different techniques to exchange data with each other. The system is not new, it has already formed the basis of "smart home". In the future, it will need modernization, new ways of integration will be found.
6. Guide in space
In the early 2030s, it is planned to popularize space tourism among rich people. During the flight to the stars they will need accompanying. At first, these will be astronauts, later there will be a need for a separate specialty for this.
7. Space Travel Manager
Along with the guides there will be managers who will take over the organization of space travel. Experts predict that this position will be introduced in about 20 years.
8. Personal Data Specialist
In the future, neural interfaces may emerge that will combine the microcomputer and the brain. This will allow longer to store memories, record thoughts and share them. The personal data specialist will take over the integration of information into an information flow and its adaptation.
9. Ecosystem Renewal Engineers
The resources of the planet are already depleted, by 2030 this problem will be even more aggravated. And it's not only in the reserves of natural resources, but also in the extinction of certain species of animals and plants. To restore them, we need engineers who can revive the ecosystem using existing genetic material.
10. Developers of constant power devices
In the coming decade, the transition to alternative energy sources will accelerate. The sun and wind are already used by some companies as the main energy sources, but there is a problem - they cannot be used in calm and cloudy weather. The solution to this problem will be the main task of engineers for the development of constant power devices.
11. Body designer
As soon as bioengineering breaks ahead, and this is planned for the mid-2020s, people can easily replace organs and tissues. Opportunities and resources of plastic surgery, medicine will help people change their bodies at their own discretion. The responsibilities of body designers will include creating mockups for surgeons.
12. City farmer
This is a man who will take over the landscaping of big cities. The goal is to make the megalopolises provide themselves with fruits and vegetables. Their cultivation will take place on the facades and roofs of buildings. This idea has already begun to be implemented. In Singapore, where there is a great shortage of territory, and almost 10,000 people per square meter, a skyscraper-farm was created for the first time. This happened in 2012 and today this idea, valuable to the agro-industry, is being adopted by South Korea, the United Arab Emirates, France, China, the US and other countries. City farmers will choose buildings, create conditions for growing crops.
13. Molecular nutritionist
Why the same diet can help one person lose weight and harm another? It's all about the individual characteristics of the body. Modern dietetics is not yet able to foresee everything. In the future, people will lose weight at the molecular level. Each program will be unique and molecular nutritionists will be involved in its development, of course? for this they will need deeper knowledge of medicine.
14. Online doctor
Thanks to the adoption of laws on the legality of providing advice on the Internet, an online doctor will become one of the most sought-after professions in the future. People want to avoid going to the clinic, in some cases it will be possible to do without it.
15. Digital linguist
A person who specializes in digital linguistics will be engaged in the adaptation of machine language for humans. The work will be associated with online translators, search engines and other robotic technologies, "talking" with a person.
16. Mind-fitness trainer
These people, unlike modern self-improvement coaches, will act in a comprehensive manner. Among their tasks is assistance in the development of quite specific intellectual skills - speed reading, memory, etc.
17. Cyber porch
Under this name is a person who will be responsible for network security. The lion's share of human life passes on the Internet. He registers on various sites, leaves personal information about himself. Sometimes his data can be used against him. To avoid this and come up with cybermen. They will remove informational garbage, help decide which information to get rid of and which one can leave.
18. IT preacher
New technologies scare people, because there are those who are not ready to accept them. Some dream of worldwide conspiracies, others hold ultraconservative views. To help such people adapt to the environment and come up with IT preachers. They, like the church ministers, will preach? Here are just information technology. Their task is to teach computer literacy, explain its importance, popularize new programs, reduce the digital divide among people of different cultures and ages. Some Western schools have already introduced the subject of media culture.
19. Environmental Disaster Prevention Specialist
Man threatens himself, clogging up the planet. So far, not everyone is aware of the magnitude of the problem, but scientists are trumpeting it publicly. Garbage leads to environmental disasters. Therefore, scientists intend to create a separate subdivision of environmentalists who will predict and prevent environmental disasters. Their task is to study the already-made technogenic disasters to conduct research in various regions and provide a plan to prevent the recurrence of disasters. This specialty will become one of the most sought-after professions of the future, as it is inextricably linked with the survival of humanity.
20. Bioethics
Considering the possibility of human-like robots, the ethical side emerges. How comfortable it will be for a person to live near cars. In addition, science addresses issues of genetic engineering, interferes with the development of embryos, threatens to clone, which also causes prejudice.
Bioethics will become the supervisory authority that will solve problems of this nature. They will evaluate new achievements of physicians and experiments of scientists. The task of specialists is to prevent people from going beyond the reasonable in their scientific quest. Yale has already launched a bioethics course.
21. Home Robots Designer
Every year the equipment becomes "smarter", because specialists in its design are actively trained in the United States, Italy, and Denmark. By the 2020th, it is planned to add robotic gardeners, dog walkers to robot vacuum cleaners. But they need someone to design.
22. Expert on the future of the child
Every child is an individual and a standard program should not kill this individuality. Therefore, futurologists ascribe a great future to experts who will develop a personalized program for a child, based on its features and abilities. They will include entertainment, education, sports and creative activities.
23. Alternative currency traders
If initially crypto traders and miners were self-taught programmers, today the region has developed so much that it requires a more professional approach. In the West, universities have already begun to prepare specialists in this field. In addition, according to the research, almost a quarter of American students invested in cryptocurrency.
24. IT physician
Their responsibilities will include the analysis of information about prescriptions written, medications used, the need for individual medications in a particular location. This will allow a more rational distribution of medical resources, to avoid epidemics. The profession is already appearing in the labor market.
25. 3D print designer
Professionals in this field will be especially appreciated in construction. Already, in many countries, 3D printing is used in the construction industry. But while the technology is used to create individual elements, in the future it is planned to build entire buildings.
Some professions of the future are beginning to be introduced today for the emergence of others there are serious prerequisites. It is not necessary to choose a futuristic specialty right now, it is enough to choose a sphere that will be relevant even after 20 years or at the right time to change the profile from the adjacent area.
