Jobs of the future
You are now choosing your future career and are considering what jobs are
high in demand in the modern world. But actually you will start working full
time in several years only so why not think about what jobs will be
necessary then? In our world, which is rapidly changing, several years
means a long time really. There will be more IT specialists in all spheres,
especially in medicine. There will be genetic engineering affordable for all
people. More and more things are done online nowadays so there will be
people who regulate our life in the Internet like Internet lawyers, for

animals and plants. More and more professions will be inevitably connected

try to look into the future of our planet and you will probably choose a job
which will be popular in ten years’ time.
