2021 salary report the fastest growing salaries by occupation what jobs are currently growing what
jobs are kind of falling behind okay we're still growing it's okay i have a job still
within the next 10 years a lot of jobs are going to become automated
it's a discussion i've been having with a lot of my colleagues and friends is
how is this going to look what does this mean for everyone well for one it means a lot of upskilling
with that comes a lot of new jobs as well the technology that is automating and maintaining
the systems of jobs that were once done by humans will need to be maintained there is a
ton of job opportunities that will come out in the tech industry because of these automations
i know obviously there is pros and cons to both sides but today i really want to talk to
you more specifically about some tech jobs that are set to boom within the decade before we get
into it though make sure to hit that subscribe button for more tech and coding related videos
leave in the comments other topics you want me to cover whether it be future of tech
coding career salary you know any of the above leave down below okay let's get right into it
recently i was reading a really interesting report by dice which was their 2021 salary report and
i'll link it down below so you can check it out as well it has tons of different information and data
in it which really covers in detail what jobs are currently growing what jobs are kind of falling
behind and it's really interesting and i actually want to pull something up on screen that i was
reading about it which is the fastest growing salaries by occupation now keep in mind once again
these are specific around tech jobs okay let's start with number 10 i think there's 10 of
them and work our way up to number one so they say number 10 being data architect with a 3.2
increase yearly for salary cyber security engineer data engineer web developer business
analyst cloud engineer technical support engineer devops engineer data scientist and
first is cyber security analyst no surprise here i think cyber security analyst comes in at
number one with a 16.3 percent annual salary increase because as you can see down below
cyber security engineer it's not that high up but what has happened is there's been so much demand
for cyber security that a lot more of the junior roles have been filled or starting to get filled
but now we have this gap on more senior level roles such as a cyber security analyst
that that kind of space or that those people are really missing still these are some of the tech
jobs that are set to boom within the next decade and i mean as you can see it's pretty obvious from
data cyber security business analyst and a lot of cloud it makes sense it's kind of the direction we
are headed any of these rules you will definitely be safe or if you get into these roles or if you
are navigating towards these roles to be able to continue to grow within the tech industry
now that being said if you aren't in these roles does that mean you won't grow does that mean your
job is going to disappear not necessarily what i think it means more than anything is that you
need to be open to continuing to learn and evolve as technology and really our world does as well
more often than not if you aren't continuing to learn and upskill you are going to fall behind
and i think that really speaks more true now than ever especially with technology being so quick
paced and really really integrated in every part of our daily lives that we really need to i'm not
saying spend your weekends and evenings continuing to learn but just be aware of what's coming
down the pipeline with new technologies even if it's not necessarily of interest to you
just having that awareness i think is huge okay i also recently found which i want to pull up
on screen here too this really really interesting tool it's futureskills.pearson.com what i really
like about it is they've done they've built this system where you can go and explore the statistics
of how likely your job is to be around in the future which is pretty crazy okay i'm going to
pull it up on screen here so let's enter let's start with us and let's see what happens here
job title i mean they're obviously collecting data on this so you don't have to be accurate
on it i'm going to be somewhat accurate just in order to you know help them with
who's really going to their website and what they're looking at okay so i found this website
a while ago and i think it's really cool just to see get a sense i mean obviously this is just one
report based on some certain data so don't you know hold your whole career or life to it but i
just think it's really interesting so okay here let's get personal so i'm 29 right now as you
know or maybe you didn't know now you know in 2030 you will be 38 years old skills that would prepare
you most for your job as a software developer is learning strategy fluent fluency and ideas and
technology design they also go in talking about what does this mean which i think is really cool
so they really break down what skills um will be important based on the role you are currently in
and then the percent of chance of growth by 2030. so software developers have a
61.5 chance of growth by 2030. okay we're still growing it's okay i have a job still
and then you can see how your results compare okay so as you can see uh we
have different roles here information security analysts have a 62 growth this is what i am
database admin have a 58 chance computer occupations all other 58. so it's pretty
cool okay anyways i'll link that down below i just think it's a really interesting resource
to kind of play around with and get a sense of where your interests are and what growth rate
and potential they really have for the future you know you choose a role hopefully based on
what you're interested in and what you want to do with your time you want to enjoy your time and do
something that makes you happy but at the end of the day you also want to do something that
pays you you need to eat at the end of the day maybe you have a family maybe you have
ambitions for travel or whatever it is so you want a role that really fills all of your fulfills
all of your needs hopefully and one that sticks around for a while so i thought this was really
interesting to play around with and at the end of the day too i really don't want you to base your
career on what is trending right now for a tech role because realistically what is trending now
might not even be trending in five years so you can't really based on that which goes back to the
whole point of more than anything you really just need to continue to learn and grow your skills
do what is interesting to you find what your passion is for example right now i'm doing
software development but i have a huge interest in blockchain development so outside of work hours
or all my learning hours at work i've been learning a lot about blockchain and it's something
i find really interesting now is it related to my job not specifically but do i see a potential for
me to go that way yeah i kind of do and same with things like web 3 and different technologies just
exploring them and finding the fun in them reading different articles on them and
more than anything i hope this video just sparks your interest that realizing that you don't need
to you know do a full 180 into a job that's going to be in demand in 10 years because
we really don't know but i also want to share with you some areas that they do based on data
see a lot of potential growth okay i'll leave you on that high note but i'm curious to know
what are some jobs that you think will boom in the next decade do you agree or disagree with
the ones that i listed at the beginning if you haven't already make sure to hit that subscribe
button for more tech encoding related videos before we go i want to say a big shout out to
some of these subscribers here thank you i see you i love you you all are just honestly amazing
one of my favorite things is when i'm reading through the comments and seeing some of you
respond or help other people out to their questions before i got to the answer
