#1 – Blockchain Analyst<\/h2>\n

Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies have cemented the role of blockchain as an integral technology. Just like cloud computing was slowly embraced a few years ago, more and more companies are transferring to the blockchain.<\/p>\n

To achieve this goal, businesses deploy the skills of blockchain analysts. Blockchain analysts install assets (and produce them) to help develop infrastructure that communicates with the blockchain.<\/p>\n

#2 – Podcast Producer<\/h2>\n

The role of a podcast producer isn\u2019t exactly part of the modern jobs niche, but it didn\u2019t exist a decade ago. Today, everybody does podcasts. In fact, it\u2019s estimated that there are more than 850,000 podcasts out there and more than 30 million episodes. It\u2019s a vast market too. More than half of all U.S. consumers over the age of 12 listen to podcasts. Which means the potential to reach audiences is bountiful.<\/p>\n

Podcast producers have an array of responsibilities. From managing podcasts to quality control and guest research, it\u2019s a very demanding role. As podcasts become more widely used, these professionals will be even more in demand in the future!<\/p>\n

#3 – Telemedicine Doctors<\/h2>\n

Telemedicine has been around for a while, but it wasn\u2019t until the COVID-19 pandemic that it really became critical. There\u2019s been an explosion in the number of roles created within the sector too.<\/p>\n

Telemedicine doctors offer remote patient care through virtual communication channels like telephone calls, video consults, and live online chats. Although in-person healthcare is here to stay, telemedicine is becoming another layer of how medical professionals work with their clients.<\/p>\n

#4 – Drone Operator<\/h2>\n

A decade ago, drones were esoteric tech that was used mainly by the military. But today, drones are used across a plethora of industries, with everyone from real estate agents to content producers harnessing its benefits.<\/p>\n

If you know how to work a drone, there are many opportunities for you to get into the role of drone operator these days. This job is also gaining popularity as more and more hobby enthusiasts transfer their passions into their careers.<\/p>\n

#5 – Chief Listening Officer<\/h2>\n

Ten years ago, this title might have raised a few eyebrows and could have sounded like something the CIA used to gain intel. But these days, it\u2019s essential to put your ear to the ground to understand consumers better. And that\u2019s precisely what Chief Listening Officers do.<\/p>\n

CLOs are primarily responsible for monitoring internal and external communications regarding their organisation\u2019s brand. They gather info from customers to devise better strategies for building and maintaining customer and employee relationships. In general, CLOs operate on social media platforms and with big data, technologies that were still immature a mere ten years ago.<\/p>\n

#6 – Cloud Architect<\/h2>\n

Most companies utilize the power of the cloud these days and have ditched their apprehension to this amazingly successful technological development. Today, companies turn to cloud architects to develop their computing strategies, design cloud adoption plans and establish cloud management systems.<\/p>\n

Cloud architecture is one of the most popular STEM fields out there. Compared to its infancy in 2011, it\u2019s a field that has exploded with opportunities over the last decade.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

#7 – Big Data Scientist<\/h2>\n

Just like cloud architecture, big data science is another popular STEM field, and with good reason. Data mining, machine learning, and big data have exploded over the last decade. Today, it\u2019s part of the operational function of just about any big corporation.<\/p>\n

Big data scientists are responsible for gathering and analysing structured and unstructured data. They also utilise an array of resources to improve the efficacy of the data they collect. As this field expands by the day, we\u2019re expecting the demand for big data scientists to grow exponentially over the next few years.<\/p>\n

In Conclusion<\/h2>\n

It\u2019s remarkable to think about how much life has changed over the last decade and the variety of modern jobs that have become a normal part of our world. With new goods and services, new popular and high-paying jobs are born. If we\u2019ve managed to come this far in ten years, just imagine how far we\u2019ll go in the next decade.
