Doing what needs to be done
There will be an explosion of new jobs and livelihoods, most of which have never existed before, and yet are solving problems, and making everyone's lives better. This is not a time for eyeservice. No one need cower before a judging hiresman. Tackle the problems around you. Define the problem and solution. Call it something. Welcome to the 21st century.

Jobs of the Future: Social Media Humorist
One of the jobs that will grow in the future is, well, anything to do with Social Media, basically. And as all smooth running systems could tell you, if they had mouths, is that a happy family is a happy family. Should already be obvious. And that humor makes the family happy. Or at least it could, potentially.
One thing I want to do on this blog is to create entirely new jobs, rather than list, as most agencies do, old, obsolete and obsolescent jobs.

Future Jobs Blog: Vision Statement Vision
Most of the jobs of the 21st century do no even yet have a name.
Since most future jobs have yet to be created, it is doubly important to get it right while still in the vision department. Once it hits the ground, it will be subject to all the laws and vicissitudes of the physical world. Why, for example, create a job that entails adding to the traffic or pollution problems? We already have too much traffic and pollution, thank you very much. So most jobs of the future will be done...right where you are.
So, when creating these new jobs, we may want to focus on work that can be done from home. But not all jobs will be done at or from home. And this brings up a second category of job, and that is what I call "Doing what needs to be done.". Does the park need to have glass picked from the sandbox? Does the air, water and land need the pollutants removed? Do sick people need attending? Of course these jobs will only grow in number...and hopefully the lanes will be clearer for emergency vehicle use. And of these jobs, I'd like to focus on those that will need adjustments in number, both up and down, as well as those jobs that have yet to be invented.
These are but two of the types of jobs that will exist in the future. We will go into greater depth as we explore these opportunities and possibilities. Please join in the discussion.
