Career Planning for the New Century

 

A great many of today’s young people will hold jobs in their lifetimes that don’t even exist today. The best preparation is probably a liberal arts education on the formal side, combined with skill and specialty development on the informal (on-the-job) side. The liberal arts preparation will be most helpful for what employers will look for in the future and, in fact, are already looking for today. 

 

Here are some new occupations mentioned in the article:

  • Foreign Telemedicine Technician.
  • Telemedicine Support Assistant.
  • Global Work Process Coordinator.
  • Chief Innovation Officer.
  • Executive Chef, Branson Space Airline.
  • Portable Benefits Administrator.
  • Vice President of Experience:
