Editor’s note: This article was first published in November 2010, and reflects a 2010 view of which jobs would be in demand; the forecasts in the linked articles may no longer hold.

Some time ago we talked about the 10 jobs of the future, a somewhat futuristic employment list led by nanomedicine, bioinformatics and space engineering. These professions clearly require a high level of training.

Because of the interest the article generated among readers (university students or future students, I imagine), who asked what the future of those jobs would be in their country, we’ve put together a new list of in-demand jobs. For many of them you’ll simply need to complement your studies with a course or a master’s degree.

Environment lovers have 5 possible jobs with high demand in the very near future; in fact, they’re already in demand, so if the environment is your thing, take a look at our next article:

If, on the other hand, social services are your field, given how few places are available in the public-sector competitive exams (oposiciones) for this degree, here are 5 career paths you can pursue simply by adding the following courses or master’s degrees:

For those who love economics and finance, companies’ innovation and new ways of doing business are also opening up new paths for your future.

I hope you find a job you like that fits with your studies and preferences.
