Emotional Intelligence Director
We all know what Intelligence Quotient (IQ) is, but most of us probably have little to no idea on what Emotional Intelligence (EQ) is.
By definition, EQ can be defined as the ability to handle interpersonal relationshipsemphatically and judiciously, to express and control emotions, and to be aware of own and others’ emotions.
Gary Veynerchuch, AskGaryVee author, said that we currently are in an age where emotional intelligence will be one of the most important traits of an individual.
Having this said, experts believe that the need of having a worker will be a top priority. Although the current force we have has little-to-no skills, having a high EQ skill will be an important ingredient to the success of a career.
Professional Gamer or Esports Athlete
Gaming has now been one of the most expensive hobbies. DOTA 2, in fact, had a tournament where their grand prize starts from $10 million! Can you imagine that? Who ever thought that just playing a game became a fruitful way of earning money?

Chief Modernization Officer
Every change is different—in fact, most people find it difficult to accept change because some have grown accustomed to what they were using. Some people are stuck in their own box without them realizing that they’re missing half of the world.
The following are some of the most famous companies who underwent the terrible mistake of not adapting to change:

- Nokia failed to comply with the trend and stuck with what their style was—Apple and Samsung overtook them within a decade;
- Toys ‘R’ Us was not able to deploy a better and a much more effective strategy in Ecommerce; and
- Blockbuster failed to transition and to adapt to their new business model.
Although these losses aren’t much of a big deal, these companies still failed in complying with what the trend had become. As a matter of fact, the transition from the traditional and the classic era is one of the most important things to handle because it can make or break the situation—use this knowledge to your advantage.
So, having someone who is in complete control of the transition from the old types of jobs to the new ones would be as necessary as having a CEO—someone who can manage both the people and the workplace—who is extremely effective in honing and applying the skills of his employees to be at their maximum.
In conclusion, we have observed a lot of modifications in the jobs that our parents do—these are far different from what we do now; what makes you think that the evolution of jobs stop here?
These are among strange and unrecognized jobs but can have huge impacts on the current trend and the market. Although some of these jobs are more complicated than most, they are the jobs that our children might be working within the next five (5) or ten (10) years.
