A good future jobs list
You may think you have a problem when your kid quits school and says, "I wanna be a Starbucks 'barista.'" You really do have one when you hear: "I wanna be a typewriter mechanic."
And so begins New careers appear as old jobs fade by Bill Taylor, Toronto Star.
This list is MUCH more fun and believable than most (I just read in a German business magazine yesterday, covering the "Top 25" careers in the future, that #1 is Visionary).
This list instead includes the "off course!" jobs like nanotechnologist, bio-informatician, fuel-cell engineer, and wireless engineer (black art).
It also includes bubble-tea maker (a true art!), dog walker (for the aforementioned busy technologists), and home delivery person (Fedex, UPS, HomeGrocer et al).
