Jobs of the Future!

So seniors, have your parents been nagging you about what you'll do when you leave secondary school? There are a lot of crazy jobs that are going to randomly spark up in the future, some that we've never heard of and some that sound like they've come out of a futuristic sci-fi film, so it's best I prepare you for what's about to come.

Medical roboticists sound a lot like the doctors from Star Trek, but they're a little more toned down than that, yet still as brilliant. Medical roboticists are the people who are responsible for designing new prosthetic attachments that make the lives of millions much easier. They also made the futuristic looking physical therapy exoskeleton which allows paraplegics to walk again; these science-minded geniuses are going to be so useful in the future. Stay tuned for Paralympics 2030, it's going to be entertaining.

Another out-of-the-box science occupation of the future is a nanotechnologist. You've probably heard of nanotechnology, everyone was talking about it until string theory came about, and then the world's obsession changed. For those who don't know what nanotechnology is, it's the manipulation of matter on an atomic, molecular and super molecular scale (if I'm going to be honest I didn't even know what it was, I just heard it on a television show once and it sounded cool so I Googled it). The birth of nanotechnology dates all the way back to 1959 and the field has rapidly progressed since then. There are now super light-weight, mega-strong nanomaterials which are being used in healthcare, electronics and other areas. The newest thing I've heard of with nanomaterials is The Shimizu Mega City Pyramid, a project aimed at solving the issue of overpopulation in Tokyo. Since the pyramid is going to be so large, I believe there is no material that is more suitable for this project as nanomaterial. So I guess the more people on that, the quicker there'll be a giant pyramid island on Tokyo Bay.

So what we've learned today is that if you decide to be a Nanotechnologist or a Medical Roboticist, or neither, you are going to be witnessing the world change right before your eyes.
