Types of Careers Generation V Will Most Likely Have

Both traditional and virtual careers are here to stay, and members of Generation V will continue to work hard at both—but Generation V will also move things toward a more virtualized world. Many careers that will be commonplace in the future will involve technological advancements that will Generation Virtual accompany the disruption wave of technology. Additionally, these careers will revolve around providing micro-technology services and assembling components configured based on customer needs. In this sense, careers created and changed by technology will work more like providing Lego-style components. Clients will have to develop products from micro-components and use the finished product for their own needs—that may sound like a cobbled-together career, but the idea of building a pieced-together career and life has far more appeal than it had in the past. Newer technology options make doing several things from various locations more accessible. Members of Generation V will likely focus on the many available career options they find personally fulfilling that also offer the ability to be financially successful. Choosing what they like, helping society, and still paying their bills is an excellent combination, particularly for members of the Virtual Generation, and will become increasingly easy to achieve over time, with technological advancements. What will Generation V do for work? And where will their current skills take them? Here are some jobs that are already available but also very technical. These are the kinds of jobs to consider when looking at ideas for the Virtual Generation because they're going to change in the future and require more technology in most cases. Careers of the future may include any or all of the following:

App Developers: While there are already many people who work to develop apps, this will become a more common profession in the future because people will use apps even more than they already do. Eventually, nearly everything will operate from an app; these apps will become more complex and able to do more as technology advances. App development is a teachable skill, though some people may be more comfortable determining how to correctly build apps than others. Nearly anyone can learn to do it if they are dedicated to the task of gaining the necessary knowledge for building apps as a career. Companies will be looking to have apps developed for their products and services—while creating an app is inexpensive in most cases, it can be a valuable and lucrative field for those who can do it well and to others' specifications.

Automation Engineers: Designing, developing, and testing technology are all things that are going to be needed. Working with amazing, advanced technology can be an interesting and exciting job with a great deal of autonomy. If someone wants to be left alone to work but have genuine job security, this is an excellent choice as a career path. Many members of Generation V are very interested in working with technology. They enjoy the things technology can do for them, but as they get into the workforce, they will shift that focus to what technology can do for others. They will still find the creation of that technology rewarding and valuable, particularly in how they see their designs used for others. Numerous people would find this kind of job interesting, so there is likely to be competition among members of Generation Virtual. Electrical Engineers: As the

technological economy moves forward, there will be a great need for many different types of engineers. Electrical engineers will be needed to ensure the proper function of everything from smart sensors and smart devices to enterprise-level systems. Many people already work in this field, but more will continue to be required as the disruption wave of technology appears. Generation Virtual While most people think of electrical engineers as those who work with current types of power systems, their work can entail much more—they also focus on company-wide systems beyond just electricity. Technology will continue to advance and open the door to additional people who want to focus on systemwide dynamics for a significant number of companies and individuals. Especially when 5G technology is rolled out and devices connect with smart sensors to participate in larger workflows and activities, there will be a greater need for integration architects and engineers.

Industrial Engineers: Optimizing industrial processes is a large part of what engineers do, and changes in technology are going to affect those processes, forcing rapid adjustments, creating a greater need for optimization. In short, more technology means needing more people who know how to operate and control that technology, particularly industrial engineers. With the coming disruption wave of technology, industrial engineers are going to see a growing demand for their services—for the development and optimization of processes—for both companies and freelancers. Industrial engineering will likely be an essential career in the future, thanks to technological advancements.

Interface Developers: Both software and hardware are needed to connect people and machines, but people are required for designs and updates as needed, as well as keeping everything operating correctly in the long run. Technological advances will result in more human/machine interfaces, which will mean a great need for people who produce and maintain those integrations. Anything that involves hardware and software connected to human beings will be a job of the future and likely heavily in demand. People already interface with computers all the time, in ways that continue to improve and advance. For example, the ability to talk to AI devices is relatively new, at least for mainstream use, but after the disruption wave hits, such interactions will be far more common, so the ways computers and people interface with one another will need improvement.

Mechanical Engineers: Mechanical engineers are needed now and will still be needed in the future. Moreover, the role of mechanical engineers will continue to expand due to the greater number of machines used and the overall escalation of automation in many industries. Keeping machines working is different now than it was in the past. Gone are the days when such work was easily accomplished with simple tools. Instead, mechanical, electronic, and computerized components are combined, so a mechanical engineer faces far more complex tasks today. That will only increase in the future, as more machines are in use and become increasingly complicated.

Production Engineers: Executing manufacturing processes will also become more complicated with the further development of technology, which will necessitate more production engineers to ensure workplaces are operating as they should. Manufacturing will be more automated, thus fewer people will be needed to assemble products, but the computerized systems assembling those products must, in turn, be created and maintained. Many manufacturing processes are already notably complex and will likely be the same or more so in the future. Technology focuses on making methods more comfortable and providing the ability to more manageably conduct and track processes. The main concern for most companies is whether they can keep their operations properly on track, which is the job of the production engineer and will be taken even more seriously in the future.

Architecture-Related Careers: architecture-related careers, such as Technology Architects, Applications Architects, Enterprise Architects, Business Architects, and Information-and-Data Architects will all be needed in the future. These careers are based on designing technology that will operate everything. They focus on the "scaffolding" that holds everything together, so members of Generation V and beyond can use that solid architecture as the foundation of other creations. Most people think of architecture as related to buildings, but it also refers to the infrastructure or framework that must be created for programs, computers, and other technology to operate correctly. A technology architect would be responsible for the building blocks and design of a product or service for which technology was needed, like a building architect or engineer would be responsible for a skyscraper. Creating new technology from the ground up is not easy. Not everyone understands technology and its value, but many members of the Virtual Generation see that it offers access to aspects of life they might otherwise miss. Fortunately, careers in creating the building blocks of new technology are going to be continually in demand in the future. The disruption wave of technology will only enhance anything related to technology and architecture, which will be the base for much of work and life.

Project, Product, Logistics, and Supply Chain Managers: Technology is changing the game for anyone who works with logistics and supply chains, along with those who work with products and projects involving logistics. People will be able to do things faster and more easily with better technology, but the technology that operates these aspects of business will have to change, and the ability to make those changes will be in demand. Supply chain and logistics managers have difficult jobs—there is a lot to manage, whether they are handling only one product or a multitude. Many of these individuals work on several projects at once to ensure they can keep things moving forward as easily as possible. Supply chain and logistics managers, along with project and product managers, are going to be needed in a new way in the future. Changes in technology mean changes in how all aspects of business are handled, and Generation Virtual will need a good understanding of new options and requirements to successfully transition into the workforce.

Security Analysts and Security Engineers: Security may not seem like a career path that would be deeply affected by changing technology, but it is. How technology is used in business and personal security continue to change, including new devices for protection in the "real" world, along with purely virtual security issues. Generation Virtual's biggest security focus will be cybersecurity. With so much more being handled over the internet in the future, members of Generation V will have to develop further protections against hacking, theft, and other unauthorized access that would damage important information. Future security careers may look different from current jobs, but they will still be required and demand related to cybersecurity may rise significantly. With so many career choices available for Generation V to consider, these are only a few highlighted options. If studies into workforce changes are any indication, workforces that work with other companies will both affect the landscape of the working world. The marketing industry is also changing, thanks to the internet—as a result, marketing efforts will need to shift from physical materials to online marketing and sales. Many new jobs will be created in the marketing sector to improve companies' ability to market online. Various technologies, such as data analytics and AI, will be used in the marketing niche, which will lead to the development of careers based on AI and data analytics engineering. Data analytics helps companies know who their customers are and at whom they should aim their marketing efforts—targeted ads and marketing are both very valuable for companies, which will become easier and more efficient as technology advances. Jobs that use AI and analytics will continue to advance in ways not yet imagined. Additionally, new careers may be created based on current and future technological advances. Generation V will be moving into these jobs, but also creating them along the way. Rather than focusing solely on the kinds of careers Generation V will have, it is essential to also look at the types of skills the generation will need for existing jobs as well as newly created careers. And when do those skills need to be developed? Next, we will look at when Generation V needs to be developing the skills they need and why it matters here will be various career offshoots. Increased use of technology and the shift away from larger companies with employees to smaller ones.
