THERE are many conventional occupations you may know of, such as doctors, dentists, lawyers, accountants, engineers, etc. You may be very familiar with conventional occupations because these are the occupations your parents have been talking about since you were young.
However, you must understand that as modern technologies grow, some of the conventional careers would vanish.
“Many restaurants are employing robots to take and deliver orders in restaurants. It may seem veered but it is happening. When there is a shortage of labour force, the business owners will have to depend on robots to carry on their business.”
There are many more new or emerging careers in the pipeline. As students looking for career pathways, you must not be ignorant about these new emerging inventions. What are new emerging careers?
“A new occupation usually is identified as one that is not included in the most current occupational classification system. An emerging occupation is one that has small employment numbers but is expected to get larger in the future.”
Technology is only one cause of new occupations. Demographic trends – such as increased immigration, ageing, and higher levels of education – also cause new types of jobs to emerge, as do business trends and shifts in consumer needs and tastes.
