Future Jobs That Will Keep Us Fed
Hello friends,
You’re watching Path to a Billion, and today we’re talking about the jobs that will keep us fed in the future. Forget about SMM specialists, lawyers, and even influencers—these careers are going out of style, like flip phones. We will explore some of the future professions that are already essential for all of us today.
Cybersecurity Specialist
First on the list is the Cybersecurity Specialist. As the world goes online, protecting data is becoming more important than protecting your front door. Hackers are getting smarter every day, so this job won’t just stay relevant—it’ll also keep you on your toes. Example: Imagine someone hacks your favorite online store, and instead of that cute top, you receive a ransom email. That’s why you need a cybersecurity specialist to keep your data from being sold on the dark web.
AI and Machine Learning Developer
Next up, the AI and Machine Learning Developer. These folks will be creating smart robots that will replace us at work and maybe even suggest what movie to watch at night. Honestly, we’re already halfway there. Example: A great example is Amazon’s warehouse assistant robots, such as Kiva Robots. These autonomous robots optimize warehouse processes; they pick, transport, and sort items, working closely with AI. So who’s going to be the boss in the end—me or my robot? Whoever gets to say “extra cheese, please” when ordering pizza.
Virtual Reality Designer
Third on the list is the Virtual Reality Designer. These people will build new worlds for us to work, relax, and, most importantly, buy pixel hats for a thousand dollars. Example: Meta’s digital reality is a 3D world where millions of people meet online and interact across countless virtual spaces.
Genetic Consultant
Another future contender is the Genetic Consultant. These specialists will help you pick the perfect genes for your kids like you’re selecting equipment for a car. Example: A genetic consultant helps assess the risk of hereditary diseases, such as when planning a family with a history of cancer. They explain the results of genetic tests and provide recommendations for prevention and treatment.
