Jobs in 2016

Fast Company magazine recently took a tongue-in-cheek look at what jobs might be in demand in 2016. Here is my list:

Danger - Plan your exit strategy:

Web Designers - The new tools will be so cool anyone will be able to build a web site
Trainers - All learning will be online
Checkout People - We don't need anyone to talk to when putting our shopping into bags
Financial Advisors - Apart from my friend Martin who is always up for a coffee and a chat
Airline Pilots - The thrill of flying 'Intel Inside' is just too good to miss

Looking Good - Try these new career options:

Home Computer Troubleshooters - All that converging technology is going to mean that an IT support person will be much more valuable than an au-pair in 2016
Personal Online Shopper - Let someone else take the eye strain
Escort - Powered by the Internet, the oldest profession goes from strength to strength
Pastor/Vicar/Priest - Because God's work is never done...
