These jobs are future proof

London, 27 June 2017

Choosing the right career path and profession will be – again, as every year -  a familiar plight for a lot of young people and their respective parents, who want to make sure their offspring chooses wisely. Suddenly, becoming a popstar, a football player, a princess, a ballerina or a train conductor give way to more realistic options, based on individual talents and interests.
School helped get here as well, by offering the opportunity for career days, counselling and internships. Next to personal talents and financial security, the actual offers and opportunities delivered by the job market are also of utmost importance. We’ll try to look into the future and consult our very own crystal ball to tell you, which jobs are future proof. The list below is no ranking.1. Technical professions – there’s always going to be a need for good engineers, because regardless whether we want to produce clean energy, build more efficient means of transportation or send manned missions to outer space or the deepest bottom of our oceans, we’ll have to rely on them finding brilliant solutions.2. IT – informational technology is already an important part of our everyday lives and that is very unlikely to change. Programmers, system administrators, network engineers etc. will keep on making sure that we, the regular user, have the easiest time using technology. And answering all of our ignorant questions.3. Architects – the number of people living on Earth is increasing every day and with it increases the need for answers regarding the intelligent use of living spaces. New, eco-friendly and sustainable cities will develop, planned by a whole new generation of great architects.4. Tourism, wellness, gastronomy – Good news for people willing to make their career in the field of services , be they on the administrative side of businesses or working directly as cooks, waiters, receptionists, cosmeticians or masseuses – we’ll be more than happy to use their services in the future as well.5. Healthcare – We live longer than our ancestors because healthcare gets better and better. Still, after a certain age, we need our regular maintenance check-ups. And since there will be more and more senior citizens in the future, doctors won’t go out of business.
