So new, in fact, that some of the hottest IT jobs didn’t even exist less than a decade ago.
Here’s one list of those jobs, recently compiled by UK technology publisher, techworld.
- Data analyst
- Drone expert
- App developer
- Social media consultant
- Sales force administrator
- User experience expert
- Vlogger/Blogger/YouTuber
- Amazon Web Services Architect
Notice a pattern? Pretty much all of these jobs are tied, in one way or another, to the Internet — how customers use it and how businesses encourage people to use it more. Billionaires have become billionaires by connecting people to their corner of the Internet. Entrepreneurs who want to become billionaires look to the Internet as the fastest route to success. Companies that know how to exploit the Internet thrive.
Given that the Internet of Things is undoubtedly the accepted path that our culture will follow for the foreseeable future, it seems likely that these jobs will remain in demand for some time to come. So if you’re thinking about making a career change, you might be wise to focus on jobs that exploit our increasing reliance on web-based connections for every aspect of life.
