2、ndividuals will be needed to help develop medical technology that is better, stronger, and faster than it ever was before.2.Genetic CounselorAs genetics continues to be fine-tuned, doctors will be able to run tests to predict all manner of markers and conditions. Genetic counselors have the job of h

3、elping families make decisions about their future children in regards to available genetic technologies. At the present, according to MSNBC, about 2,000 counselors are recognized by the American Board of Genetic Counseling. As technology improves and becomes more widespread, expect the need for coun

4、selors to grow right along with it.3.Respiratory TherapistThe atmosphere isnt what it used to be. Between congested highways, the pollutants of industry, and just plain old stress doing a number on our bodies, respiratory problems like asthma are rapidly on the rise. Under these conditions, it comes

5、 as no surprise that the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics is reporting an extremely good job outlook for respiratory therapists. Practitioners and technicians from varying levels of training will be needed increasingly to help future generations breathe well against all odds.4.BioinformaticianWheneve

6、r new terrain is charted, maps must be drafted to document and understand the new discoveries. Not only is this true in geography, but in biology as well. As genomic and molecular research continues to intensify over the years, the science community will need plenty of young bioinformatics majors to

7、 map, analyze, create 3-D models of and compare DNA and protein structures - hopefully resulting in better understanding and treatment of genetics in the future.5.Stem Cell ResearcherStem cell research has been a controversial topic since the day it started gaining plausible ground, entrenched in a

8、war of progress and ethics. Still, science finds a way. Already, researchers may have found an alternative to embryonic stem cells that may put the ethical battle to rest. If this is the case, more researchers than ever will be needed to develop cures for diseases, genetic enhancements, and whatever

9、 other secrets these cells may hold.6.Custom Implant Organ DesignerIt wasnt so long ago when organ transplants were the stuff of science-fiction novels. Now human ears are growing on mice for science, mouse brain cells are growing within robots for art, and the next wave of scientists are using gel-

10、suspended cell cultures to draw custom-made organs for implants from scratch. When it comes to biomedical engineering, the sky is the limit, and young ingenious scientists are needed all the time to keep on searching for the next big breakthrough.7.Massage TherapistCity populations only get more and

11、 more crowded as time goes on, and stresses will only increase as towering office jobs become more prevalent and intense. But you have the power not only to do something about it, but to get paid doing it. As the economy levels out and city life stresses become more compact, look for the already boo

12、ming massage therapy industry to go through the roof.8.NurseAs necessary as nurses are, it may stand to reason that we will never run out of nurses; in actuality, that is exactly what is happening. According to the American Association of College of Nursing （AACN）, our country is in the midst of a n

13、ursing shortage that is expected to intensify as baby boomers age and the need for health care grows. Nurses will only be more in demand as time goes on, and its a profession that will never go out of style.9.Home Health Care AideAn entire generation is getting older, and its a big one. As the Baby

14、Boomers start to collectively reach senior citizenship, home health care aids will be in hot demand to help elderly folks continue to live at home with dignity, assisting with chores and care and providing valuable company.10.PharmacistAnother classic. Just as the rising collective age of Americans

15、is leading to a need for more health care workers, the same thing is also leading to a need for more prescription drugs and those who know how to prescribe them. In addition, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, a growing number of pharmacies are starting to offer on-site diagnoses and patie

16、nt care, stretching the amount of skilled and well-trained pharmacists needed. The demand for pharmacists and pharmacy technicians is expected to rise by over 30% in the next decade.11.Medical Records AdministratorWhats so high tech and futuristic about a medical records administration career? As a

17、matter of fact: everything. The world of information is rapidly changing, and medical records are at the forefront with a huge push toward going digital. Once doomed to navigate halls of bulging paper files, the medical records administrators of the future will need to be tech-savvy and quick on the

18、 draw with digital databases, in a field where fast information recall can mean the difference between life and death.12.NutritionistThe United States is dealing with an obesity epidemic of epic proportions - it affects 32% of adults over 20, and leads to complications that add up to $147 billion a

19、year in health care expenditure. Something has to be done, and a healthy diet is a great start. In addition to a growing need for nutritionists and dieticians to help combat obesity, there will be an increased need for nutritionists who can work with elderly patients on adjusting their diets to impr

20、ove health in the face of age-linked conditions such as heart disease and diabetes.13.DentistNot so futuristic in theory, but certainly a perennial. No matter how far into the foreseeable future, we will always need our teeth - and we only get one natural set, so it pays to treat them well. Unfortun

21、ately, the dental profession is seeing a shortage as populations grow while the average age of dentists rises, with many dentists retiring faster than they can be replaced. Thats good news for new crops of prospective dentists, who will find themselves highly in demand.SCIENCE and ENGINEERING14.Spac

22、e Tour GuideWhen the time comes for space travel, tourism will be there at the forefront, giving the wealthy and the curious a taste of the exotic. But who will narrate the tours and bring the majestic vistas of outer space to life? You, if you become a space tour guide. Its not as far off as some m

23、ight think - multimedia mogul Richard Bransons Virgin Galactic space tourism venture is already garnering some serious financial backing - so anyone interested would do well to start brushing up on their public speaking skills.15.Robotics TechnicianFrom precision factory work to precision surgery, a

24、 robots place in society is growing every day. Of course, skilled workers are needed to tend to robots: to build them, maintain them, and keep them running smoothly. Well-versed in both sturdy classic machinery and cutting-edge technology, technicians of the future will play an important part in gre

25、asing the gears that keep the world turning.16.NanotechnologistTrue, science is expanding - moving ever outward with space probes and grand robotic and architectural creations - but it is contracting just as surely. Nanotechnology is the study of matter on a molecular scale: manipulating individual

26、atoms, building structures by the nanometer. Its a fairly new practice where sciences are concerned, due mostly to it previously being physically impossible, but scientists predict it to have possible applications ranging widely from medicine to electronics and even new forms of energy production.17

27、.Simulation EngineerAdvanced 3D technology is improving everyday （already movies are a far cry from the headache-inducing red/blue lenses of yesteryear）, and it shouldnt take long for holographic and other simulation-based technologies to follow suit. According to UCSDs Jacobs School of Engineering

The age of full-size interactive holodecks is coming, and Physics and Comp-Sci whizzes will be at the helm of it all.18.Energy Resources EngineerWhere does our energy come from? Mostly

29、from electricity and oil, but perhaps not for long. As global concern over environmental issues grows, a race is on to create new major sources of energy. New engineers with fresh outlooks are greatly needed to help develop more effective wind turbines, more compact solar panels, safer atomic fissio

30、n, and the next big thing in energy production.19.Aerospace EngineerWhile MIR and our probes are impressive, our countrys space program has by and large stalled for quite some time. Where will you be when it starts up again? Its only a matter of time before thoughts turn once again toward exploring

31、the great frontier of space, trekking to new planets and seeking out new life and civilizations - and with the right engineering degree, you could be the one to design the craft that makes it all possible.20.Biorefinery Plant ManagerA huge talking point of the last presidential election was the potential of biofuels as a valid replacement for our finite sources of petroleum. From corn-based to grain-based ethanol, biomass technology has become a formidable opponent to o
