Top 10 Future Best Jobs

Finding interesting reading material in a doctor's waiting room can be frustrating. When I take the wife to the neurologist's office, the only things available to read are brain and mental health magazines (mine are fine, so I don't have to read about them).

More likely than not, the magazines are at least a year old. Actually, sometimes that's not always a bad thing, especially when the magazines aren't timely in nature, with information that's rather ageless.

A long time ago, I used to subscribe to Popular Science and Popular Mechanics. I don't any longer, so it's a treat to read them in the doctor's office.

Recently, I came across an article in Popular Science listing their selections for the 10 best jobs in the future. Veddy interest-making indeed (to paraphrase Arte Johnson in Laugh-In). Here they are, in no particular order: 
  1. Human/Robot Interaction Specialist (helping robots and people get along)
  2. Space Pilot (flying shuttles into space)
  3. Organ Designer (making human organs from scratch)
  4. Animal-Migration Engineer
  5. Fetus Healer (curing health problems before birth)
  6. Forcaster of Everything (analyzing data to predict the future)
  7. Fusion Worker (managing fusion reactors)
  8. World Watcher (keeping track via satellites)
  9. Galactic Architect (building cosmic outposts)
  10. Thought Hacker (reading thoughts)
Feel like going back to school now?
