what is the best job for the future?

Answer 1

The best job for your future is a job that combines your interests and your talents.

The most important part about choosing a career is choosing something you are really passionate about.

The dream job is one you can't wait to get to and hate to leave.

The salary attached to a job means nothing if you have to drag yourself out of bed every morning to go into work and hate every minute you spend there.

Follow your passion and you will find both a job that you love and one that will meet your financial needs.

Answer 2

Obviously a vague question. But think about the areas of life that have been automated and commodified so far and try to project into the future - mechanical jobs have been taken over by robots and nowadays many knowledge work jobs are moving overseas to places where wages and cost of living are low. Meanwhile corporations continue to grow larger and more influential and media (and advertising) spread into more and more areas of our lives. Yet at the same time, humans are evolving very slowly. We still have the same basic physical and emotional needs our ancestors had a thousand generations ago.

What conclusion should you draw from that? You haven't defined what you consider "best" in the context of a job, so I can't say. For me personally, if I were 18 today and entering college I'd probably choose to become a doctor - maybe a specialist like a neurosurgeon or cardiologist if I thought I could stand the interminable residency period. Doctors will probably continue to make good money and be valued members of society for as long as there are people - even if those people are life-extended half-cyborgs living in floating sky cities.

On the other hand if you believe that life is only about having fun then nothing I've said above matters and you should move to a hut on the beach and surf all day (or whatever).

In the end, analysis of the logic behind this or that career choice can only take you so far. You also need to analyze your own aptitudes and interests - try to imagine a job where all of them could come into play in some way. And by all means avoid career choices that you find distasteful. If you can't stand the sight of blood you'll be a miserable doctor, so that would be a poor choice.

Good luck!

Answer 3

The Internet Job

Answer 4

Something involving rendering a service that cannot be automated- like medicine, pharmacy, computers etc. Jobs like mailman (being replaced by e-mail), English teacher (many graduates but too few jobs) are not really hot. have a look at:

I believe it is best to do something you are passionate about. However, be aware that at the end of the day you need money. It is better to have to fight yourself out of bed to go to work to a job that pays you enough to live (eventually you will get used to it) than try to find a job you love but is extremely hard to get or if you get fired it is hard to find another job or one that will quickly be phased out.
