Jobs may be scarce today, but if current trends hold, pretty soon there will be plenty of fun, lucrative gigs. If you have the vision to start prepping now, you could be flying starships, reading minds, or designing organs.
工作也許現在很難找，但如果照當前的趨勢發展下去，不久之后，就會有很多既有趣又能賺大錢的工作出現。假如你夠有遠見，現在就著手準備，那你就有可能成為未來的飛船駕駛員、測心專家或器官設計師。
Forecaster of Everything
全能預報員
Job: Analyze data to predict the future.Hiring: 2015
工作內容：分析數據，預測未來。上崗時間：2015年
Trend: The U.S. Bureau of Labor estimates that demand for statistics wonks will swell by 20 percent by 2018. As the barrage of data grows—tweets, insulin-meter uploads, facial-recognition billboards—we'll need skilled people to choose what data to pull and how to make it useful. As businesses become more dependent on these analyses, the raw data itself will become a key commodity, creating its own industry. Expect openings for data brokers trading exclusive rights to data portfolios.
發展趨勢：據美國勞工局估算，到2018年，對統計學專業人員的需求量將增加20%。隨著數據量的爆炸式增長——微博留言、胰島素儀上傳數據、具有人臉識別功能的廣告牌——我們需要技術嫻熟的人來確定哪些數據可以用，以及如何用。隨著商業活動對這些數據分析的依賴性越來越強，原始數據本身也將成為一種重要商品，并形成屬于自己的獨特產業。擁有數據資產獨家交易權的數據經紀人即將應運而生。
Education: Study computer science or stats, then enroll in a prediction-proficiency program such as DePaul University's.
應受教育：攻讀計算機科學或統計學專業，然后到設有預測專業的學校進行深造，比如德保羅大學。
Organ Designer
器官設計師
Job: Make organs from scratch. Hiring: 2020
工作內容：從無到有，制造器官。上崗時間：2020年
Trend: Every 90 minutes, someone in the U.S. dies waiting for a transplant. With the senior population doubling by 2050, expect more internal plumbing problems. Medical company Tengion's simple "neo-organs", such as bladders, arrive as soon as next year. But we'll still need to figure out how to fashion trickier organs like lungs, kidneys and hearts, all made using the patient's own cells to reduce rejection. "If you're adding a new fender," says Tim Bertram, a senior vice president at Tengion, "it has to be the right make and model."
發展趨勢：在美國，每隔90分鐘就有一個人在等待器官移植中死去。到2050年，老年人口將翻一番，屆時，預計會有更多的人需要進行器官移植。Tegion醫藥公司生產的構造簡單的 “新器官”最快明年就能上市，比如膀胱。不過，我們仍然需要研究如何制造出像肺、腎、心臟之類更復雜的器官。為了減少排斥反應，制造這些器官均要使用病人自身的細胞。“這就好比你如果要裝一個新的擋泥板，”Tengion公司資深副總裁蒂姆·伯特侖說，“那么它的結構和樣式都必須得恰到好處。”
Education: A bioengineering program, such as Wake Forest's, which is working to grow more than 22 different organs and tissues in the lab
應受教育：學習生物工程專業，比如維克森林大學就正在實驗室里培育超過22種不同的器官和組織。
