New and Emerging Careers

I was reading the Oregon Careers 2012 magazine the other day, and thought I would share a few new and emerging careers that I learned about.  If you want more details, you can read the entire article in the careers section of www.qualityinfo.org (click on the Oregon Careers 2012 under the "publications" section on the bottom right of your screen after you open up the careers tab).

Green Jobs - jobs that are "environmentally friendly" are on the rise.  Examples include environmental cleanup workers and natural resource specialists.

Applied Data Analysis - making information/data interesting to the average person.  Examples include marketing and news reporting.

Nano-Technology Engineering - using microscopic mechanical devices.  This could be to inject into people to destroy cancer cells or to use in the environment to clean up toxic waste sites.

Crowd-Sourcing and Cloud Computing - collecting and storing information on the Internet.  This could be as a computer programmer or software engineer.
