After receiving his degree in Electronic Engineering, Summit Shah expanded on his work to become one of the most successful technology experts and authors in the industry who has made many accurate predictions about the future of technology and IT. Technology experts are always in high demand and should see a continued level of growth in many areas as the success often achieved by experts in the technology field has expanded to include a range of new industrial sectors growing at a fast rate.
Technology jobs were once frowned upon as simply fashionable forms of employment with little future but have now become some of the most impressive available as new forms of energy are produced and the ‘Internet of things’ moves closer towards becoming a reality; by 2024, it is estimated more than 12 percent of tech employment sectors will grow to make this one of the largest fields of employment in the world.
Renewable Energy Technician
Across the U.S., the performance of renewable energies looks set to outstrip that of coal and other fossil fuels which are slowly being phased out of the energy production sector. Perhaps the fastest-growing job in any technology field, a Renewable Energy Technician will not be affected by robotic updates or the use of artificial intelligence in the coming years as the installation and maintenance of PV panels and wind turbines is estimated to grow by 100 percent over the next ten years.
Artificial Intelligence Engineer
There are few areas of growth as fashionable or exclusive as Artificial Intelligence Engineer which has attracted some of the top names in the tech industry who are given salaries often matching sports stars and celebrities. Any tech expert or student looking to break into the latest area of growth should be looking for skills which can be applied to AI if they wish to match the top salaries seen in this sector.
Interface Design Director
The entire sector of Web Development may have been around for as long as the Internet but it still has the potential for growth in the coming years as the number of new jobs available grows by around 27 percent across the next six years. An Interface Design Director is responsible for planning the user interface of apps and Websites and implementing the design over the course of a Web-based project providing an average salary of over $160,000 in 2018.
Video Game Streamer
One of the new sectors of jobs which will become important in the coming years is that of Video Game Streamer for Web sites such as Twitch which has more than 25,000 members streaming video games and earning money. The so-called ‘gig economy‘ is driving the rise in those looking to establish a career in a technological environment which is always evolving.
Biomedical Engineer
As the population of most of the developed world continues to age the need for new equipment, techniques, and pharmaceutical options will also continue to grow. A biomedical engineer is responsible for developing a range of new products including replacement organs, limbs, and other medically-based equipment based on the technological needs; the forecast job rate for this role is 23 percent by 2024 and offers a median salary of over $95,000 in 2018.
Software Developer
A software developer is one of the most creative people in the technology sector who is required to spend a large amount of their time exploring new ways of developing programs for mobile apps and larger hardware to the specifications of a client. Developers are also responsible for amending existing programs and apps in a timely manner to keep them as up to date as possible.
Change Management Specialist
There are few roles in technology as new or innovative as a Change Management Specialist who spends their time exploring the best ways of enacting a change within an organization without negatively impacting the majority of a company. This role offers a growth rate over the next half a decade of more than 20 percent and an average salary of more than $130,000 for those willing to take on a position where the positive reinforcement of an organization remains key to the overall health of the brand they are working with.
Information Security Analyst
The cyber attacks taking place across the globe have had a positive impact on the industrial sector of the Internet security. An information security analyst is a role growing at a fast rate as every company and organization identifies the need for a high level of security across their group which is one of the major reasons for the U.S. unemployment rate of just 2.7 percent in this role. As attempts at cyber attacks become increasingly common in the 21st-century this role looks set to increase in importance across 2018 and beyond.
