Space tour guides
With space travel likely to be less expensive by the mid-2020s, a new travel industry will come. “Tours will show people the beauty of the sunrise from space, and some interesting places in space. Somebody needs to be in charge of these tours and explain to the space travelers what’s going on,” says David Tuffley.
Distant drone (无人驾驶飞机) drivers and pilots
How cool would it be to deliver packages from the comfortable office? That’s the way of the future with delivery drones and self-driving trucks. Zach Howard says, “Many delivery companies will soon need lots of drones and a large number of skilled pilots who can run the drones.”
Gamification marketing experts
This future expert will need to make online shopping feel like a game; that is, gamification is about keeping customers more delighted during shopping. The gamification marketing expert will help keep online buyers’ attention by making their experiences more playful and exciting.
Rewilders
To save Mother Nature, someone will need to remove the damage humans have done to the environment. Through the Jobs of 2030 project, an organization guesses we will need rewilders to remove the damage to the countryside caused by people, factories, cars and farming.
