Future Job Environment

We are in a time when exponential change which means that what we plan for tomorrow will be outdated and obsolete extremely quickly.  When I left school the art of gaining knowledge through education, and being successful in attaining a tertiary qualification meant that job opportunities were more abundant. Today there is a shift where knowledge  Jobs of the future are likely to be short contracts that require a human interface working with others using awesome communication skills.   Have you thought about where these business have gone?

            Record and Music Shops?                 Supermarket Checkout Attendants?       Developers of Photographs?

In the not too distant future we will find that warehouses, transportation such as shipping, and jobs like banking, will start to disappear.  Taxi services will dwindle as driverless cars become more popular and individuals will no longer require garages to house their vehicles.
