“I always wanted to be somebody, but now I realize I should have been more specific.”
– Lily Tomlin
Resolving to get a “better job” is a solid start, but without a particular job title that you can strategically work toward, you’ll just end up where you started (or worse, take steps backward).
Every year, LinkedIn crunches the numbers on hiring and highlights the 15 jobs with the greatest growth potential for the next 12 months and beyond.
While some of the career tracks require a lengthy, expensive educational background, like Robotics Engineer, many of the jobs in the report are built on concrete hard skills you can learn quickly with the right drive and guidance.
