What new jobs are likely to emerge by 2030?

With the unprecedented rapid development of science and technology, it is hard to imagine what the work of all walks of life will look like in 20 years. But the Canadian Scholarship Trust (CST), a non-profit foundation dedicated to helping Canadian children receive college education, wants to find out this. With the help of visionary strategists, CST predicts that jobs may be everywhere by 2030.

They investigated and studied the macro and micro development trend of "may shape the future". Martha Turner, vice president of CST, explained: "These trends include population aging and structural changes, climate and energy changes, immigration and globalization, digital technology, scientific and technological progress, and personalization, security and stability brought by the use of big data."

Many of CST's partners include more than 40 thought leaders from the industry, who hope to better understand the future development of their respective fields. Turner said: "Although these jobs are speculative in nature, most of them are likely to appear. Now there are many technologies being perfected, some have appeared successfully, and some are waiting for commercial development to be ready. Although all this sounds like science fiction, it is all based on the current development to analyze and predict. Instead of predicting the emergence of new technologies that do not exist now, it is better to predict the improvement and deployment of technologies currently being developed. "

According to CST forecast, the following nine jobs may appear in 2030:

1. Remote Surgeons: These surgeons operate robot tools remotely to operate on people instead of using human hands.

2. Nostalgia: Nostalgia is an interior designer who specializes in rebuilding the memories of retirees. By 2030, the elderly don't want to live in a typical "retirement village", but can live in a luxurious place decorated with their favorite memories or places.

3. Rebuilders: These professionals are officially called "farmers". However, they are not engaged in increasing the output of food crops, but canceling rural areas, factories and cars caused by environmental damage.

4. Streamlining experts: The interest of streamlining experts in 2030 is how to simplify and streamline the business of enterprises. For example, they can reduce the administrative measures of 15 to three, or reduce the interviews of four people to three, or streamline the three-day work to half an hour.

5. Waste designer: The waste designer turns the by-products of the production process into high-quality materials in a creative way and makes another completely different product.

6. Robot consultant: In 2030, robots will play a greater role in providing home care and services than they do now. Robot consultants can determine their needs and lifestyles by observing the interaction patterns of families, and choose corresponding programs for families.

7. Medical Navigation: These professionals teach patients and their relatives complex medical systems. Navigator also helps people manage the medical system with minimum stress and delay.

8. Solar technology experts: These experts can own land, where they manage large-scale solar panels to provide electricity for power stations and other communities, or they can act as consultants for cities and other urban spaces to help owners design, build and maintain solar panels.

9. Fish and vegetables * * * Raw fish farmers: In 2030, the number of wild fish will gradually disappear, so there will be new farming methods, such as introducing hydroponics technology to replace the wild fish that we have not caught. Fish, vegetables, raw fish farming and gardening are combined to raise fish under the water where aquatic plants grow. Plants are antioxidant to water, and fish waste provides fertilizer for plants.

Turner said: "Nowadays, students are under great pressure in the early stage of their career path. Many students begin to plan and decide their own professional fields in high school, which often leads to unnecessary anxiety and stress. By emphasizing the skills and education needed for these jobs, we hope to teach students the skills needed to build their own unique knowledge system and career path. "

This research is about encouraging students to explore different fields, which they have never imagined before. Considering that 15 or jobs may exist in 20 years, it is also important for students and parents' finances. She added: "This study shows that higher education will become more and more important, which means that you should start saving money for education as soon as possible."
