Top Ten Possible New Jobs in the Future
Spanning from the next few decades to a century (and potentially further) as technology slowly continues to advance, brand new jobs could start to exist and some could possibly become relevant in the future. Here are some new jobs that could possibly be relevant in the future. Note: These are just predictions, and are often highly inaccurate and not meant to be taken too seriously.During the rise of machine learning and automation, there could be plenty of obstacles to face in the field of artificial intelligence. Glitches could occur, causing various robots to malfunction in ways some may not understand.
Workers in this career field will be responsible for fixing broken robot parts, removing unnecessary data, and updating code. Possibly in the next three decades, this job could become a major trend in first-world countries.
Asteroid mining is expensive and extremely risky, and it might not be worth it unless we consider alternative uses for fuel and materials. Precise planning is also required to benefit effectively from this job to capture an asteroid.
If the issue of space junk around Earth is resolved, asteroid mining could become a trend in the next several decades.
This could be important in the far future, but we are still far from achieving accurate predictions, as weather forecasting is often inaccurate. However, if we develop the necessary technology in the next century to predict disasters like earthquakes and volcanoes, professionals in this field will analyze data and make educated guesses about when disasters will occur.
If done correctly, this will ensure people can evacuate at the right time, thus preventing casualties.
As drones rise in popularity, this could become a significant trend soon, possibly in the next decade. Drones are slowly covering multiple purposes and could soon assist with city services.
Drone managers will control multiple drones, manage air traffic, and initiate commands and directions.
If robot intelligence isn't sufficient or doesn't perform properly, AI instructors may provide specialized tasks for robots to gather necessary data and achieve maximum efficiency. This role functions similarly to a teacher, but it involves teaching robots to perform their best.
This may seem impossible in this decade, but it could be achievable sometime in the next century. I can't explain this one precisely because we still don't know enough about fossils, especially those from the dinosaur age. There could still be plenty of fossils to discover.
Eventually, scientists might find a clever way to resurrect previously extinct animals. This job could become very important in the future, as various wildlife necessary for the ecosystem are likely to become extinct.
In the next few decades, "smart" apps, homes, and various devices will become widespread throughout urban cities and the countryside. Essential city services could also be automated and operated digitally.
Smart city managers and analysts will be responsible for monitoring digital data circulating around the cities and ensuring that nothing goes out of the ordinary.
In the next century, plants, animals, and trees may become scarce and less diverse due to pollution, overpopulation, and the expansion of civilization. There could be pollution remnants in the air, water, and soil lasting for years.
Rewilders will address this major problem by cleaning harmful pollutants, reconstructing nature and biodiversity for wildlife, and replanting lost trees.
If robots and drones become widespread, they could potentially replace firefighters, policemen, and other emergency services, although not entirely, but reduce the number of human emergency personnel needed.
Space travel seems fun at first glance, but it is risky due to various obstacles such as radiation, space debris, and asteroids, plus the amount of fuel required. If space travel becomes possible, likely close to the next century, this could be an exciting job for those who can tolerate motion sickness.
It is similar to being a travel guide, but based in space, and you could potentially have a blast in this career.
The Newcomers
This seems like an unorthodox job, but following recent trends, it could become possible with the harvesting of animal organs for xenotransplantation.
The idea of flying cars is possible, therefore we will need air traffic police.
Space debris has long been an issue, and it definitely needs to be fixed for space travel to be safe. However, this is a dangerous job that requires plenty of planning and strategies, and it's not for the faint of heart.
Alternatively, as machine learning becomes more prominent, specialized robots could be developed to clean the space debris orbiting Earth. These efforts should be consistently and realistically planned, or else the robots could collide with the debris, creating more junk around the planet.
