With technology moving faster than ever, it’s hard to imagine what careers will look like 20 years from now. With help from foresight strategists, The Canadian Scholarship Trust Plan (CST)took a look into the future to find the jobs that may be commonplace by the year 2030.
科技发展日新月异,人们很难想象20年后职业发展的态势。加拿大奖学金信托计划(CST)的策略分析师,颇具远见,展望了未来,研究出了2030年可能司空见惯的工作。
They examined macro and micro trends that “appear to be shaping the future。”These trends include aging and demographic changes, climate and energy changes, immigration and globalization, digital technology, scientific and technological advances, personalization resulting from leveraging big data, security, and stability。
CST研究了大量数据、综合考虑了安全性和稳定性,从宏观及微观角度审视了“似乎可以塑造未来”的态势,包括老龄化、人口变化、气候和能源变化、移民[微博]和全球化、数字科技、科技进步和个性化。
Here are nine jobs that will likely be available in 2030, according to CST:
根据加拿大奖学金信托计划的研究,2030年会有以下9大工作:
1. Tele-surgeon: These surgeons operate on people remotely with robotic tools instead of human hands。
远程外科医生:远程用机械人工具、而不是用手给病人做手术。
2. Nostalgist: Nostalgists are interior designers specializing in recreating memories for retired people. The elderly of 2030 who don’t want to reside in a typical “retirement village” will have the luxury of living in a space inspired by their favorite decade or place。
怀旧设计师:怀旧设计师专营室内设计,为退休人群重塑回忆。2030年不愿待在传统“安老社区”的老年人将会享受奢华的住宅空间,其设计灵感来源于其最爱的年代或是最心仪的去处。
3. Re-wilder: These professionals were formally called “farmers。” The role of the rewilder, however, is not to raise food crops, but rather to undo environmental damage to the countryside caused by people, factories, cars, etc。
环境还原专家:环境还原者是专业人士,过去其正式的名称应为”农场主“,其职责不是种种庄稼作物,而是减损由人类、工厂还有汽车等对乡村带来的环境破坏。
4. Simplicity expert: The simplicity experts of 2030 are interested in looking at how businesses can simplify and streamline their operations. For instance, they can reduce 15 administrative steps to three, or four interviews to one, or three days of work to a half hour。
简化专家:2030年的简化专家热衷于提高公司效益、化简操作流程。比方说,他们可以把15步的行政步骤减少至3步,把四场面试减少到一场,或是把三天的工作减至半小时。
5. Garbage designer: Garbage designers find creative ways to turn theby-products of the manufacturing process into high-quality materials for making another entirely separate product。
废料设计师:废料设计师用创意手法把生产过程中的副产品转变成高质量、可以制作全新产品的材料。
6. Robot counselor: In 2030, robots will play a greater part in providing home care and services than they do today. The robot counselor will be a resource for picking the right bot for a family, by observing how the family interacts and identifying their needs and lifestyle。
机器人咨询师:2030年,机器人将会在家政方面大展身手,比以往更有担当,可以帮助家庭挑选合适的机器人、观察家庭成员的交流互动、了解家庭的需求和生活方式。
7. Healthcare navigator: These professionals teach patients and their loved ones about the ins and outs of a complicated medical system. The navigator also helps people to manage their contact with the medical system with the least amount of stress and delay。
医疗引航员:这些专业人员教以患者及其家属认识复杂医学体系的方方面面,还帮助人们缓解就医的精神压力、节省就医的时间成本。
8. Solar technology specialist: These specialists may own land where they manage a large spread of solar grids, to sell the harvested power to stations and other communities — or they may work as consultants in cities and other urban spaces, helping building owners to design, build, and maintain solar panels。
太阳能科技专家:这些专家或拥有大片太阳能电网,把所收集到的太阳能销售给电站和其他社区——或在城市和其他都市空间里当咨询师,帮助业主设计、建造和维护太阳能电池板。
9. Aquaponic fish farmer: In 2030, populations of wild fish are disappearing — so new production methods like aquaponics will step in to replace fish that we can no longer catch in the wild. Aquaponics combines fish farming with gardening, where plants grow over water to cover its surface, while fish live below. The plants return oxygen to the water, and the fish produce waste that provides fertilizer for the plants。
鱼菜共生养殖员:2030年,野生鱼的种群数将日益减少,因而新型的养殖方式,诸如鱼菜共生法将会取代传统方法来养殖人们在野外捕不到的鱼类。鱼菜共生法把养鱼业与菜圃园艺相结合,植物生长在水上,覆盖水面,而鱼就在水下生存。植物向水输送氧气,鱼所产生的废物为植物提供肥料。
