10 paths to employment

Want a job?

You better know something about engineering, or computers, or math, or technology, or dealing with bitchy customers.

The Daily Beast compiled a least of ten cutting-edge jobs for the 21st Century and between — network architect, system software designer, data engineer, network administrator, applications designer, database manager, avionics specialist, technology theorist and computer programmer — nine of jobs focused on the left side of the brain.

One high-growth job that sticks out: tech support specialist. Turns out that with all this new technology, the world needs patient, calm folks to deal with people’s inane questions.

Another interesting note: eight of the Daily Beast’s jobs have high concentrations in Virgina, Maryland and D.C.

It's a wonder how this tech-support specialist is smiling.
