Will humans lose their place as artificial intelligence and robots advance? Just as some positions disappear, new ones are emerging. The Seoul Business Agency is currently promoting a project to foster future innovative job sectors. Keep an eye on this and prepare for a third career in life. As a heads-up, the field of 'curating,' which involves designing areas based on existing knowledge, stands out.

IoT security expert

In the era of the Internet of Things (IoT), where people and objects communicate, convenience comes with increased exposure to security threats, such as personal privacy breaches and data leaks. There is a need for experts who manage software-based security rather than relying on physical security measures like dispatching personnel to break in. IoT security is a field that converges with smart homes, smart cars, smart grids, and U-healthcare, and professionals can also work as encryption experts or telecommunications network specialists.

Virtual Reality (VR) Content Developer

There are continuing calls from the industry to strengthen software to expand the VR market. It has been proven by 'Pokémon GO' that if content capabilities are outstanding, global expansion is only a matter of time. Furthermore, 'virtual reality' is a field with infinite potential for development in areas such as interior design, architecture, spatial information, retail, broadcasting, and tourism. If you have identified consumer needs based on your expertise in the field, why not go beyond technology and start with content that stays true to the basics?
Social software developers

Social enterprises, non-profit organizations, and the public sector create a unified space for topics of public interest. People voice their opinions there, which can drive social progress. This is because there are individuals who develop social software with creative thinking, breaking down barriers and crossing boundaries between fields. A prime example is "Agora," an online forum operated by Daum. One social software developer stated that it is important to build skills while engaging in enjoyable programming, regardless of age or educational background.

Global Social Curator

Modern people communicate through social media. While advertisements on social media are frequently seen, the role of a global social curator is necessary to promote small and medium-sized enterprises and small business owners on a global scale. For marketing purposes, it is essential to understand the culture of a country and possess language skills to promptly resolve inquiries. With relatively flexible hours, it can be a suitable job for those who have immigrated through international marriage.

Coding Creator

There is intense interest in coding education, which involves creating programs using computer languages often referred to as a "second language." This is because it not only enhances computer literacy but also requires creative thinking. Starting in 2018, coding education will become mandatory in elementary, middle, and high schools nationwide. Consequently, coding creators can now grow into professional instructors in various fields, such as after-school teachers at elementary, middle, and high schools or instructors at general institutions, in addition to launching individual content as app developers.
