Can you imagine actually having to look up a word in the dictionary? Or going to the library to borrow a book? Probably not. ‘Most of your life has been inundated with technology but the truth is, your most useful tools didn’t even exist 25 years ago! Yeah, you heard me right. Phones didn’t exist 25 years ago. Want to know something even crazier? By 2030, we'll have lost over five million jobs to automation. That means that future jobs will look vastly different by the time you graduate from university. Don't worry, though! The jobs of the future will actually be more interesting than those of the past. Gone are the days of factory workers and physical production ... we'll et the machines handle that. Instead, future Jobs will involve knowledge creation and innovation. Machines are actually doing you a favour-They’te freeing you up to explore, experiment and find interesting solutions to complex problems, like pollution. Just see what engineering students in the Northwestern University Solar Car Team are doing. They get to design, build and race cars, all while saving the environment!

In order to solve these problems, you'll need to have the mental flexibility to think. outside the box, see the big picture and rearrange things to find a solution. Luckily, this skills highly developable and simply takes practice, The more difficult problems you tackle, the more flexible your brain will get! 2 Critical thinking Technology may be able to automate many of the jobs that currently exist, but you probably wouldn't trust it to do your critical thinking for you; as such, your future career will require you to develop excellent critical thinking skills. You'll, constantly need to be analysing various situations, considering multiple solutions and making decisions on the fly through logic and reasoning. 3 Creativity Wortied about robots stealing your job? The more creative youre, the less likely you are to lose your job to a robot! While robots may be better than youat calculating and diagnosing problems, they aren't very good at creating original content, thinking outside the box or being abstract. Yet. 4 People skills Listen, machines are going to take over eventually. and technology is going to get much more advanced, so we humans have to stick together! IF you want to succeed in the future job market, you'll need to learn how to manage and work with people (and robots), which includes getting intouch with your emotions, having empathy and listening. SSTEM Even though science, technology, engineering and maths jobs are super hot right now, don’t expect them to go away in the future. As technology progresses, you'll need to have more advanced STEM skills to keep up. Also coding, Learn how tocode, 6 SMAC You've heard of STEM but you probably haven't heard of SMAC (social, mobile, analytics and cloud). Catchy, right? Learning all of these skills/platforms ‘will make you stand out in the future job market! 7 Interdisciplinary knowledge Your future career will require you to pull information from many different fields to come up with creative solutions to future problems. This skill’'s easy to work on as well. Start by reading as much as you can about anything and everything that interests you. Once you get to college, consider double majoring or minoring’ in completely different fields.

Disclaimer: All of these jobs do not currently exist and may never exist so please don’t blame me if you tell your parents that you want to be a trash engineer and they laugh in your face. Trash engineer This may be the oddest future job but it’s totally necessary! Think about Humans produce 2.6 billion pounds of trash annually, and what do we do with it? Throw itin landfill. There is no way this practice is sustainable so we're going to have to think about something else to do with all of our rubbish. Unfortunately, just packing our trash Wall-E style n't going to cut it. In comes future you: a world renowned trash engineer who's solving the earth’s waste problems one wrapper ata time! You could turn our rubbish into clean gas, or figure out a way to make it combine to make it strong enough to construct buildings with! The possibilities are endless but it’s up to you to come up with the award winning ideas. Skills needed: Strong STEM skill, critical thin! and mental elasticity. Alternative energy consultant People cannot survive on fossil fuel forever, so alternative energy sources are the only hope. Im sure you've heard of solar, wind and hydroelectric energy.

A personal loT. security repair person of course! Dysfunctioning products due to hacking is just one of the many problems that the world is bound to face as our devices become smarter. As an IoT security repair person, you'll be in charge of thwarting’ hackers before they cause any damage and fixing any damage that you're unable to prevent.

Yay! However, there’s one little problem... who's going to fly us around? We can't possibly all become astronauts before exploring the moon (or Mars); that would take way too Jong and wouldn't be at all practical. We'll need someone who has the experience of an astronaut but is also trained to handle much larger rockets, with many more people aboard. Sounds like a tough job but if you're an expert on space and have always dreamed of becoming an astronaut, it's time to start thinking bigger! Ym counting on you to become the best commercial space pilot the future has ever seen!
