One thing that was discussed in this weeks lecture was the idea of what will the job I want one day in 20 years look like?
Very interesting point I think as media journalism moves towards the internet and almost anyone now can be a journalist. I suppose the hardest part would be establishing and audience, credibility and a reputation for outstanding work. These I believe will be the most important factors for future wannabe journalists, with establishing a audience being the most important. If you have a large audience you will get noticed.
Good thing I don’t want to be a journalist though and am leaning much more towards radio, which has been around for decades upon decades and would bet a small fortune on stating that it will still be around in 20 years time. I’d be surprised if the TAB had odds on that but theres no harm in finding out… right?
Regardless it was a thought provoking idea as there are probably going to be a lot of jobs in 20 years time that aren’t even around now whether it be hover-board technician (PLEASE THIS!) or flight tube operator (like the ones from futurama would be awesome)
