5 Careers of the Future You Should Know About
The 21st Century welcomed us with a ton of new developments and innovations. As we face the new and rapidly changing world we live in, it’s time for us to adapt and get a head start in careers in technology, sustainable energy, and digital media. With all the new things being made and discovered, now is the best time to look for the best careers you can start building!
So, here’s a list of promising 21st Century careers you should watch out for in the (near) future:
1. Biological Engineering
We’re pretty sure you’ve heard of Engineering by now and, true, it isn’t a new field after all. However, current technology coupled with the growing needs of humans called for newer branches of Engineering like Computer Engineering and Electrical Engineering. Though, another branch of Engineering is of particular interest, especially with the current needs of our healthcare industry: Biological Engineering.
Biological Engineering takes the field to another level by incorporating Life Sciences on top of other disciplines like Chemistry, Physics, and Mathematics. This new branch of Engineering enables humans to alter and enhance different aspects of Biology for a specific purpose, such as the creation of designer “bugs” that can help break down plastic faster, or use different microbes to help fight viruses that can infect people.
And no, you don’t have to go elsewhere to study Biological Engineering! Mapúa University is the first and only university in the Philippines to offer the program since 2008! Click here to learn more about Mapúa University’s Bachelor of Science in Biological Engineering!
2. Multimedia Arts
From the website you’re reading this article on to the social media platform you’re using almost every day, there are materials that only creatives and artists can produce. With the advent of new media (think: social media platforms and streaming services), as well as the onset of the pandemic where we are all stuck inside our homes and connected only through the internet, the need for multimedia artists continuously grows.
Multimedia Arts is a career that focuses on the creative production of materials that span across multiple mediums. Gone are the days when materials were exclusively either audio or visual. Current devices like smartphones enable the combination of audio and video, making it very easy to share and watch live streams, vlogs, music on streaming platforms — and the list goes on.
