Maybe you didn't grow up dreaming of being an "augmented reality journey builder" or "master of edge computing" or a "cyber calamity forecaster." But someone will.
The big picture: Jobs of the future will be heavy on the use of algorithms, automation and AI; customer experience; environment; fitness and wellness; health care; legal and financial services; transport; and work culture.
- Why it matters: This is the sunnier side of the apocalyptic argument that robots are going to eat our jobs.
That assessment comes from a report identifying 50 "jobs of the future" to replace the many current occupations that are being vaporized.
Cognizant keeps a quarterly jobs tracker that tries to determine whether new jobs will efficiently replace those eliminated.
