Revealed: 21 Future Jobs

Even as the world is changing because of artificial intelligence, humans have never been more integral to the future of work, a new study of futuristic jobs revealed.

Cognizant, the global professional services company, launched the second part of the -Jobs of the Future- report that surveys career paths that will potentially emerge alongside new technologies.

-Some of the jobs will be highly technical, while others will be more low-tech. Some are already observable in the marketplace (if you squint), while some are years away from coming to fruition,- said analysts from Cognizant.

-Some will propel a career for 60 years, while others will be -‘gigs’ that come and go,- they said.

No matter the changes, however, the analysts believe -human imagination and ingenuity will be the source of human work ad infinitum-.

This year, Cognizant proposed 21 jobs of the future:

1. Low to mid-tech within five years

    -Who isn’t under pressure to outrun the machine? Only the most myopic or insulated (through success or failure) can see that what got them -‘here’ won’t get them -‘there,’- the analysts said.

    -Everybody has to figure out what to do -‘when machines do everything.’ Some will stay and fight; some will run,- they said. -Some will tell the machines what to do; some will be happy to take orders.-
