have you ever wondered what are some of the most futureproof jobs I mean is that even possible
nowadays I am coming to you from the future well actually I guess when you watch this it will be
the past but today we are going to look at some of the most futureproof jobs going into 2024
now I'm going to pull down the magical curtain because the reality is it would be ridiculous if
I said there were jobs that were 100% future proof but here are some that are continuing to really
increase in demand but even more importantly we are going to look at what skills are required
within each of these roles because those are the skills that will keep you whether you are
in one of these roles or not in demand for the future future proofing our career it is possible
oh and you know what I got to do I'm a YouTuber before you do anything hit that subscribe leave
down in the comments other topics you want me to cover this is how I make my videos is based
on what will help you and also give a video a like okay enough that YouTube stuff let's
really get into it [Music] now first off imagine a job like a video game something that you are
always playing but you never actually fully Master that's what type of jobs are going to
continue to be in demand now let me explain what I mean by that is jobs that have you continuously
learning and upscaling although on one hand it can feel like a bit of a headache I mean when
does learning ever stop well the reality is it never stops and that's the beauty of it or at
the very least we need to embrace being forever Learners also I want to note something for the
jobs that I'm going to cover today the three kind of main categories my role working in Tech you
know years as a software developer moving into developer relations and Communications my job
title is not within one of these three Realms I'm going to talk about today but that's okay
is it okay it's okay and if yours isn't under one of these three it's okay too these are just three
areas that if you are looking to really grow your career with in technology that I would definitely
suggest checking out but even if if you're not the skills that these areas that we will speak
about bring will can translate into so many other roles it goes back to the whole premise or the
whole focus of being a forever learner all right I just had to get that out of the way because I
didn't want someone to watch this and think my job I'm going to lose my job like insert that
Meme where it's the what is it the dog holding the coffee cup and his house is on fire we don't
want any of that that's not the vibe we're going for now the first job that will stay in demand
and really future proof for quite a while is the data expert what is a dat expert well there are so
many roles under data that will stay in demand that I'm just summing it up as the data expert
some of these roles include data scientist data analyst business intelligence analyst and more now
where does this come from well for one thing the global data analytics Market is expected to hit
272 billion the numbers coming of my head it's just it's Wild by 2027 so you can think based
on these numbers how in demand these roles will continue to be and actually another stat that I
think is really interesting is job growth for data scientists is projected at 28% from 2020 to 2030
that is a huge increase in demand okay that's great and all but where do I go to learn some
of these skills yes great question other Tiff here are some resources if you are looking to grow your
career around data whether it's data science data analyst anything that I just mentioned
one I would recommend is corsa's IBM professional certificate for Applied data science another one
is udacity's nano degree in data science these both offer really great certifications so it's
not just a course that you can put on your resume but you also get a certification to go alongside
it okay but for those of us who are not going to become data scientists or data analysts people
like myself what can we take away from this this industry of data as a whole that is continuing to
grow in demand well for one thing data is touching every point now it seems or every company and what
I've learned or what I'm trying to do especially in my day-to-day role working in Tech is bringing
in datadriven decisions so making sure whether it be for a marketing standpoint or a technical
standpoint that these decisions I making are based on data now I'm not going to be a data analyst or
a data scientist ever in my career it's not what I'm looking for but what I can do is use so many
incredible tools I mean now with AI especially to help me base my decisions more so focused on the
data for example at the company I work at we use HubSpot a lot and they offer really great insights
into to what data is available what uh you know users are clicking on where they are traveling to
different things like that and in turn I can make better decisions because I have insight into that
so even if you are someone who is not looking to change your career fully or anything like
that really take away from this in particular that making databased decisions whatever your role is
will continue to set you apart next up is the AI Whisperer and similar to data I am putting a few
roles under this AI Whisperer because there are going going to be many rules under this subject of
AI I know we keep on hearing about ai ai but the reality is AI isn't going anywhere anytime soon
well probably never going anywhere and within AI there are so much opportunity both on the
technical and non-technical side to get into so whether you are looking to do a career switch or
even grow your career in a different direction a direction that you know is more in demand AI
as a whole is definitely a good starting point so what are some roles within AI this includes roles
such as machine learning engineer AI engineer deep learning engineer even robotics engineer
I might put under AI maybe it should be its own category but I think the two can be very closely
linked and then there are a ton of other roles for example I know IBM has a role where it's AI
in data technical specialist so it's someone that maybe has a bit of technical knowledge
and experience and yes you're technical but it's more so about having the knowledge of a technical
person when you are selling to customers or interacting with them all right let's start
with data though let's go you know going back to point number one really emphasizing how important
taking data or making database decisions is what really is the percentage of role or percentage
that this role will go up let's focus on machine learning engineer according to Forbes machine
learning Engineers are expected to SAR or jobs for it are expected to SAR 334 per not 34% 334
per. over the next decade that is something I've really never seen numbers that high when it comes
to a specific job it is one of the fastest growing jobs in the US Forbes goes on to say once again
Tiff that's great but where do I go to take these courses yes Tiff number two great question again
great good job here are some places you can go to take courses around artificial intelligence
and that specialize in different roles in particular one is Stanford's machine learning
course on corsera you can tell I really love corsera courses mainly because they are taught
taught by industry experts a lot of individuals who work at very very prominent universities or
college I mean Stanford and another resource I don't hear Too Many people talking about maybe
because it's hidden a little bit is nvidia's deep learning Institute courses both of the
resources I mentioned offer a certification as well which is great for you in your resume all
right what about AI if you are someone who might not look be looking to become a machine learning
engineer or even on the business side uh Ai and data specialist how can you incorporate
AI into your everyday work this is another easy one I think I think they all really if you were
someone who is open to technology learning uh you can really fit these into your day-to-day job with
AI it comes to being open to use new tools that come your way uh educating yourself on ai ai in
itself even saying it it's such a broad term and there's so much under it here's an example
of what I'm doing in my day to-day I don't use AI or build AI or I'm not a machine learning engineer
but what I did do is enroll in a postgrad course that is machine learning and AI Hands-On so this
is a postgrad course that I'm going to be starting in February actually on that note let me know down
in the comments if you want to learn more as I progress through this course and it's going to be
doing a little bit of both one hand is technical so coding with python and really learning the ins
and outs around all these new technologies well not new technologies but new to me anyways and
to many people for actually building with them and the other side is more of the business side around
AI now I'm not suggesting everyone out here has to go take a full-on course on it but I would suggest
even learning through some YouTube videos or some free courses online to really educate yourself as
to the terms within artificial intelligence and also to where it's headed because it's something
that will affect every single person's job okay with all these new technologies and roles popping
up it sounds like there's need for some security in the Mix You are not alone in thinking that in
fact number three on the list is actually cyber security prize prize I hope not we need more and
more cyber security it's one of the industries actually within Tech or across the fields that is
so in demand it is continuing the percentages for jobs within this field that are not being filled
is pretty staggering so what are some roles though within cyber security as a whole cyber security
analyst security engineer penetration tester incident responder threat analysis and the list
goes on this is another area well they're all really these areas where there's both
technical opportunities and non-technical a lot of people will either start their career out as
Technical and then maybe move into non-technical roles or even vice versa I seen okay and going
back to data we always bring it back to data as I mentioned why is what are the numbers what are the
percentages really telling us the global cyber security Market is actually projected to reach
375 billion by 2026 that is in 2 years and cyber security job openings are expected Ed to increase
by 30% by 2030 those numbers are pretty Stager by the way I found them on cyber security and
security infrastructure agency's website you already know what I'm going to ask courses I
already got them ready you didn't even need to ask here are some courses around cyber security cbr's
ethical hacking fundamentals course is a really great course that offers a certification other
courses are offensive Securities certified ethical hacker or C certification and Sans
Institute online training now with cyber security it's a bit more tricky to recommend online courses
because it really depends where you are at with your journey in cyber security the biggest thing
though is I would definitely recommend searching up very specific things within cyber security
you're interested in the good news is there are so many good resources online okay well once again
I'm not going to be going into cyber security in my career at one point though I really thought I
was going to but here are some key takeaways if you are like me and maybe aren't doing a full
pivot into cyber security that you can bring into your day job right now or your day-to-day
life which in turn will help you stay ahead and really just be more I mean I'm trying to
think of another word other than in demand but it really comes back down to that because you're more
knowledgeable you're more prepared within your current job cyber security I think is a pretty
obvious one where it's around the security don't click on links you're unfamiliar with don't open
attachments or download attachments you're not familiar with make sure to do your du diligence
when it comes to reading up on cyber security best practices especially at your place of
work I mean it depends on the size of where you work and what their security policies are which
can vary greatly both good and bad but one thing to really note is to stay diligent yes you might
be working on your work computer and it's not technically all your stuff but think of it from
the perspective of this company if something was to go wrong because of something you've done it
would really affect your career for a very long time all right those are the three areas that
are are going to be future proofed when it comes to roles under them or roles using them and as I
mentioned throughout this video Your Role can use these different kind of sectors as long as you're
open to it and wanting to continue to learn I hope you found this video very helpful and valuable I
love making content for you so once again I got to say it leave in the comments any other topics
you want me to cover questions you have and I'll see you all soon thanks [Music] everyone [Music]
