Over the next 10 to 20 years, skilled jobs will be firmly on the rise, offering opportunities to people of all ages. But some old standbys, like manufacturing and secretarial work, are in long-term decline.
Fortunately, my skills, as a software programmer/engineer and a web designer, should be in demand (that’s what they say). The one thing, in all of this, is for sure (and you’ve probably noticed): the world is getting more and more complex, and as mentioned above, skilled, more technical jobs will be in demand — that is, in any area. If you don’t see your profession there, don’t worry: just concentrate on being the best in whatever you do. Good workers are always in demand.
