Certainly all forms of green technology development will be of paramount importance
Medicine and – hopefully – bio-medical ethics
Sustainable agriculture and water resource management

We will need more and more police and intelligence agents.

Anything you do,just do it with interest and passion.There is no bad job.It’s better to be a good lift operator than to be a bad lift engineer.

As we continue onward becoming more and more technologically advanced, I’m guessing there will be more demand for computer engineers and those highly educated in information technology.

I’ll only comment on technical fields:
*Engineering- especially in robotics, nanotechnology, alternative energy sources, biotechnology, greener transportation.

*Technicians and operators in the above fields.

*Research scientists, engineers, etc. in fusion power, satellite-based solar power, technology-based climate change “fixes”.

Mostly anything to do with science and engineering. Space exploration, robotics, advancements on the computer and Internet, medicine.

And a lot of what stranger said.

I’m not sure there will be any careers available with the way the 21st century is going. Repo men might have a shot.
