The Rising Stars: Champions of the Digital Age

Let me take you on a brief journey into the near future—2025 to 2030. While some jobs are soaring to the top like rockets, others are quietly fading into history.

At the forefront of this rise are Big Data Specialists. With a projected net growth of over 110%, they are the new gold miners of the digital economy. Hot on their heels are FinTech Engineers and AI & Machine Learning Specialists. Money, intelligence, and data—these are the pillars of the new workforce, and these roles sit right at their intersection.

But it's not just coders leading the way. UX/UI Designers, Data Warehousing Experts, and Autonomous Vehicle Engineers are all climbing the ladder. If someone still asks, “Which career should I pursue?”—the answer is crystal clear in this chart:

"Read the data, protect the systems, and never forget the user."

Even roles like DevOps Engineers, Information Security Analysts, and Renewable Energy Engineers aren’t just growing—they’re becoming the most future-resilient positions on the market.

The Fading Roles: A Quiet Curtain Call

Now, let’s visit the other side—the twilight zone of the workforce.

Here, you’ll find once-familiar jobs gradually vanishing. Postal Clerks, Bank Tellers, Data Entry Clerks—roles that were once essential to everyday life are being quietly replaced by digital alternatives. With declines nearing 40%, the message is loud and clear: the age of automation has arrived.

But it’s not only hands-on roles disappearing. Some white-collar jobs are also slipping through the cracks. Legal Secretaries, Telemarketers, Graphic Designers—once staples in modern offices—are now overshadowed by AI, automation, and changing business models.

The message is simple: "If it can be repeated, it can be replaced."

What We’ve Learned

  • Rising roles are powered by technology, data, automation, and sustainability.
  • Declining roles rely heavily on routine, manual, or easily automated tasks.
  • Conclusion: Either prepare for the future workforce—or be remembered as a footnote in the past.
