Looking Ahead To Future Careers

If you are career planning or looking ahead to jobs for the future and want some guidance, then use this page along with the "Career Research" pageto help you along. They make great shortcuts to the future.

Of course there are many advantages and disadvantages to choosing current technology and careers versus future technologies and careers to focus your attention on. We hope that this page will uncover additional points for you.

Now take a look at Information Technology again, because that's really the heart of the modern technology movement in careers of our current society.

The advantage of choosing a career in Information Technology now is that it is extremely popular. This makes it in high demand; therefore a lot of people are needed to fill these demands. You can assume that this niche will continue to have a strong need for at least 5 to 10 more years, before showing signs of decline. Therefore there are very good salaries to be made and a lot of interesting and challenging work to be done. So, if you choose this current technology, you'll get a lot of opportunity, and the rewards are great now, in the present. But this is not one of the jobs of the future.

 

IT: Here And Gone

Meanwhile, the main advantage of choosing the future technology as predicted by a future trend, is that in the future, Information Technology will naturally become less popular. It will become superseded by a new technology, and that new technology will be the one that's in the forefront. This new, future technology also won't last forever, but at that time it will be in a forefront.

So the key advantage of preparing for the future technology now is that you'll be extremely well placed when the new technology becomes predominant. This will almost always guarantee very good future opportunities within that field, because you'll have a very strong background and experience already.

The main disadvantage of specializing now in Information Technology, for example, is that anything that is reaching its peak is then going to start to go down. So the opportunities will decrease, the work will probably become less interesting, less stimulating and at some point there will be too much supply, in which case the salaries and all the other benefits tend to decrease.

The disadvantage of being a pioneer and starting one of the jobs for the future now is that it's not so popular yet,. So there's more of a struggle now in return for more success later (Check out the "Where to Invest Money" page).

 

But There Is One Overriding Fact

Whenever you learn the more advanced technology while the current technology is in its heyday, there's one kind of special benefit that makes preparing for jobs for the future so attractive. Let's look at an example.

If you are investing now in the next big trend; "How to Be Healthy, Happy, and Peaceful" (which is also a Natural Career), and you're learning how to help other people be healthy and happy, then you are benefiting from that future technology today. You get future lifestyle in the present.

Although you may be sacrificing some of the success that Information Technology people are enjoying at the moment (or any current technology), you will be benefiting from the future technology today. As an aside, health and happiness are the next generation of desires after Money - find out more in the "Investing Secrets"

Let's Look Deeper

If you look back to industrial revolution and beginning of capitalism, the people who started to make money and make business were doing the new thing. And they enjoyed a hugely better quality of life than the people who continued doing agriculture and typical work for that time period.

So those early capitalists (although for sure life was very challenging in those days) enjoyed a much more advanced quality of life, because they reacted to this new money message ahead of other people.

 

Ready To Enjoy The Future Now?

So people who are investing now in jobs for the future will be able to enjoy an enormously enhanced quality of life. Those focusing on health, happiness, peace, and longevity will be taking the shortcut to the future by preparing for this future need in the present.

The quality of life that we are all going to be looking for in the future will be found in achieving health and happiness. There is simply no way a human body can continue to increase the amount of pressure it is receiving without learning how to handle that pressure effectively.

Plus, there's something special about being a pioneer (LINK to "best place to invest money"). It is more dangerous, you risk, you sacrifice, but the thrill is there, and some people really love to live on the edge. So being a pioneer you can live on the edge all the time, with the added benefit of being successful in the future.
