A friend I teach with sent me this link. I think we all can identify with one factoid if not most or all of them. The most significant for me was the one that said we are preparing students for job descriptions that don’t exist now but will.
Another teacher friend of mine wrote about the same thing on her blog today. Wow, this says to me we need to prepare our kids with the basics to adapt to wherever the bread and butter may be:
Can you envision today’s high school or college students carrying out jobs like these:
Bio-botic Physcian
Chef-farmer (agri-restaurateur)
Clone rancher
Digital archaeologist
Drone dispatcher
Exozoologist
Energy Harvester
Global system architect
Holodeck trainer
Mobile BioMass Therapist
Personal brand manager
Smart car interior advertisement sales representative
Space junk hauler
Transhumanist consultant
Robotician
The World Future Society; an organization served with the charge of making those predictions can. In their recently released special report (PDF) these were among some of the 70 specific jobs predicted for 2030.
