- Book Intro
-
￭ 100 promising jobs for the future are selected, including jobs that already exist and ones that will be newly created! ￭ Jobs our children will select 10 years from now are introduced by applying the opinions and predictions of futurologists, sci-fi movies, etc. ￭ Jobs that are approaching, which have already started to appear in reality.
Just as we couldn't predict the present day 10 years ago, it's almost impossible for us to predict 10 years from now accurately. One thing for certain, however, is that the world is changing very quickly with the rapid development of technology. In 10 to 20 years from now, new jobs will be created that we have only imagined in our dreams or never even thought of, and jobs that are popular and earn a lot of money at present might disappear in the future just like the setting moon. But it is not true that only new and different jobs can remain in the future.
In this book, the author analyzed our society to select jobs that are promising for the future. Also, he researched technological development and changes in global society to introduce jobs that will newly appear in the future. This book was first published in 2013. In the revised edition, changes that took place in our society are added and images are updated.
