Jobs of the future: 14 jobs that will be in demand in 2020 and beyond.

With advancements in robotics, machine learning and artificial intelligence, it is safe to say that many jobs will eventually become obsolete. It is believed that not enough is being done to equip the next generation with the skills they need to find gainful employment in this disruptive era of information technology and technological know-how. 

We are also aware that out of the thousands of university students who graduate each year, few find satisfying work (financial benefits, etc). More graduates are frustrated at the length of time it takes to land a job, and a small but significant number are still unemployed after three years or more of searching for work. 

The unemployment and underemployment rates among university graduates is quite concerning. No, we have not forgotten the hundreds, even thousands of persons who have left high school with a diploma but find it difficult to find even an entry-level position.

The workforce is still being trained in the old industrial model.

Below we have provided you with a list of professions that already exist that are expected to be even more in demand in the future. Salaries are quoted in US dollars and represent the average, yearly income each professional did earn last year. 

Unfortunately we could not find any recorded or official source for corresponding information for Jamaican salaries. The figures placed here are to provide a reference point for the reader. The information therefore is to provide insight into each career's financial viability and longevity.
