TODAY, THE CONTINUOUS ADVANCES IN TECHNOLOGY INVITE YOU TO THINK ABOUT A FUTURE IN WHICH THE JOB MARKET WILL CHANGE RADICALLY.
New positions with a technological and creative base, among which the positions of roboticist, data scientist or lawyer specialized in cybersecurity will stand out.
A study prepared by the University of Oxford puts figures to the concerns of many workers today, showing that 47% of current employment will disappear within one or, at most, two decades. For their part, 90% of the professions that remain will undergo some transformation, related in most cases to the acquisition of technological skills.
Among the most in-demand jobs of the future, in first position is that of Internet of Things analyst and programmer, according to David MartÃnez, head of digital transformation at Watch & Act. Houses and cities will be connected to all kinds of sensors and devices that will allow you to interact with them or with other people. Professionals will be needed to design the best solutions on this technological basis.
The second position is occupied by one of the most demanded professions: that of data scientist. These are professionals with analytical, programming and logic knowledge, usually with a mathematical or statistical background. Their job is to study an organization’s data and generate indicators that anticipate business trends and propose corrective measures using Big Data. These professionals will know their maximum expression linked to the Internet of things.
The robotics business will continue to grow, so the job of roboticist will also be in greater demand. Processors and sensors will continue to improve, automating processes to the maximum and avoiding the need for human intervention where it is not essential. Robotics must have knowledge of engineering and computer science, and have skills related to the humanization of artificial intelligence.
Like robotics, 3D printing will continue to grow in importance, generating the job of 3D printer. The professional must be a creative person, capable of inventing new feasible and profitable models, and with computer knowledge of 3D printing tools. Furthermore, this technology, which can transform entire business models, is highly compatible with others such as robotics or the Internet of Things.
Finally, among the professions of the future, it is worth mentioning that of a lawyer specializing in cybersecurity. All technological advances introduce risk elements into security, so cybersecurity will become a growing sector. Each country will have a specific regulatory framework that will require professionals with an advanced technological base capable of mitigating risks and their impact on people. This will be one of the most demanded professions.
