New Technology Influence in the Development of New Career Opportunities

    Based on an old video from 2007, called "Did you know 2.0?" It was mentioned that several of today's college degrees didn't exist 10 years ago (in other words, 1997 since the video is from 2007).  Some of the degrees that were listed were Organic Agriculture, e-business, Nanotechnology, Homeland Security, New Media, Biotechnology, Human-computer interaction, Gaming design, etc. This list of majors isn’t stationary. As technology progresses and business changes, grounds of study that didn’t need it before are going to emerge as full-blown majors.

    In the past, we were trained for the job we planned to go into. In today’s world, it is difficult to hire the right human resource manager that will find the employees with the right skills. While there is still a requirement to have a degree and that a vast majority do have one, the experience needed or knowledge in the job it is missing. How they will apply for a job without that necessary skill? We cannot take the risk in areas such as Architecture, Engineering, Technology, and Cyber Security. The experience is needed and the same time as the degree. However, there is an area where there are candidates with proper education and potential for the job. I believe that many of today’s issues with the workplace are due to technology and it’s constant development. In 20 years from now, we’ll be hearing about robots in the workplace instead of humans. Let’s see what the future has for us.
