Jobs of the Future Include Tissue Engineers and Virtual Reality Actors

Posted on October 13, 2005

In 2000 Time magazine offered a look at the top ten jobs of the future. So far we haven't seen any of these positions but a few of them sound interesting. Time definitely wasn't hip to the "Chief Blogging Officer" type of positions that have emerged in 2005.

Tissue Engineers
Gene Programmers
Pharmers
Frankenfood Monitors
Data Miners
Hot-Line Handymen
Virtual Reality Actors
Narrowcasters
Turing Testers
Knowledge Engineers

Time described each of these positions in detail but sadly the article has been removed. Most of the careers are self-explanatory. For less far off job growth trends The Bureau of Labor Statistics' handy list of the fastest growing careers.
