Many of the jobs that today’s students will be doing in 2030 haven’t been invented yet. The big question for talent acquisition teams everywhere: What will those jobs be?

It turns out that many of these jobs will spin off from technologies that are emerging today — drones, alternative energy, autonomous cars, and cryptocurrencies and blockchain developments, for starters.

We looked into our crystal ball — and around the web — and here are 15 of the most intriguing (and perhaps far-fetched) jobs you may be recruiting for in the not-so-distant future:

1. Organ creator

The New Zealand–based website Crimson Education speculates that the shortage of transplantable organs will, eventually, lead scientists to create organs and body parts from stem cells and other materials, including some that may not even exist yet. Recruiters will be searching for candidates with a background in molecular biology, tissue engineering, or biomedical engineering.

2. Augmented-reality journey builder

Starting with notions developed in Total Recall (memory implants of vacations) and Westworld (an android-staffed amusement park), AR journey builders will allow customers to experience virtually anything they wish. The AR journey builders will, according to Cognizant’s 21 Jobs of the Future, “design, write, create, calibrate, gamify, build, and — most importantly — personalize the next generation of mind-blowing stories and in-the-moment vignettes” for well-heeled clients. The position will demand a film school degree as well as experience with massively multiplayer online role-playing games.

3. Metaverse planner

Ironically, some of the first jobs created by the metaverse are brick-and-mortar retail jobs — Meta opened a California store in early May to hawk VR and AR gear. Down the road, of course, the metaverse will not only augment reality, it will augment the LinkedIn list of in-demand jobs. And one of those roles will be metaverse planner. “[T]he Planner,” says the blog for Honeypot, a European job platform for tech talent, “will need to drive a strategic portfolio of opportunities from proof-of-concept to pilot to deployment.” Planners will need management experience and an entrepreneurial spirit. And, obviously, they’ll require a metaversity education.
