When you ask your children what they want to be when they grow up, and the response is a "flying-car mechanic" or "fear containment manager", don't dismiss these ideas as crazy. They may very well be actual jobs in future.Digital innovation, after all, did fuel the rise of the social media manager, a job that did not exist 10 years ago.Now technology experts say careers in future could include jobs like drone traffic optimisers, space tour guides and atmospheric scientists.Jen Bergh, a senior e-learning consultant at blended and e-learning company Eiffelcorp, said that such jobs were becoming less far-fetched due to the continued development of technology. "Because of the growth of the digital world, we will end up doing jobs we never did before."Cathy N Davidson, the co-director of the annual MacArthur Foundation Digital Media and Learning Competitions, said she thought that "65% of kids will end up with jobs that have yet to be created".This was likely to be the trend the world over.Earlier this year, Fortune magazine reported that technology advances would create 25million new jobs in the US.An article in the journal said the future would bring high demand for three types of workers: computer programmers, data analysts and "those who design, make and install all sorts of sensors across the commercial landscape".While Bergh believes that these jobs could easily come to be, she said that the South African education system would have to be tweaked before it could prepare today's youngsters for tomorrow's opportunities."The strength of future jobs requires a stronger curriculum with an emphasis on maths, science, computer sciences and technology, together with a very creative and innovative environment," she said."We would also need specialist assistance with regard to support, implementation and the adoption thereof."..
