I was just browsing through the book "Consumer Behavior; 2010" by Washington and Miller. The book gives a forcast on how future gerenations will look like. Plus they give a funny overview of the top future jobs. So if you are planning to enrole in college you might first want to take the following in consideration:

Top jobs by 2020

• Artists, writers, poets

• Global headhunters

• Knowledge management advisors

• Nano-bio entrepreneurs

• On-demand supply-chain designers

Top jobs by 2025

• Anti-hacker specialists 

• Gene engineers 

• Personal identity finders 

• Personal privacy advisors

• Reality interactive TV producers

• Robotic psychotherapists

Top jobs by 2030

• Anti-terrorism technicians

• Climate change forecasters

• Customer knowledge mining specialists

• Health performance enhancers

• Holographic game developers

• Hydrogen marketing managers

• Nano-manufacturing agents

• Poets

• Renewable energy entrepreneurs

• Solar fuel developers

• Space market planners

Great to see that poets will survive 2025 to flourish again in 2030. Bummer though that being a marketer will never be a top job!
