The best jobs of the future are the jobs that will pay you enough to buy your own house, and the best ones aren't even coming yet. They're still in science fiction and fantasy novels.
The top job of the future will be space travel engineers, followed by professional athletes. Professional sports is already a big time career, but imagine if it paid as well as doctors and lawyers? And what would happen if your profession didn't become obsolete before you retire? That's where this list comes in. If we can predict which jobs will be most desirable in 2050 or 2100, then you can make plans for your personal finances now — whether you're looking for work now or planning to have kids sometime soon. Other jobs that will be in high demand include fiction writers and editors; independent movie producers; and architects.
The best jobs of the future
While the above list might be off the mark, one thing is clear: over the next few decades, jobs revolving around robots will be increasingly common. It is predicted that by 2030, nearly half of all manufacturing will be automated in some way and it is possible that this could trigger a similar number of job losses in other sectors such as transportation and logistics. However, perhaps surprisingly, when it comes to big data, automation may not have a big impact on job numbers and may even increase employment opportunities.
