This topic, to me, seems to be something that either upsets people or just makes them depressed. However, for some, they see a golden opportunity to engineer great creativity. But let's cut to the chase. Jobs are really difficult to come by anymore. And with 401k's, pension plans, and social security all but extinct the future seems like nothing more than a long dark corridor filled with agony and misery. Desperate and fearing their own financial future, many people wonder whether or not the damaged job market will be able to churn out new and invigorating jobs for a lifestyle that has gone completely digital.

So here's my question for you wonderful people:

What jobs/fields would you create in this highly digitized world?

If I could, I would delve deeper into the study of virtual technology and cyberspace so that one day, Tron's world will be a real place where people all over the world could go to and meet up. They could interact with each other in real time, play virtual games, and chat. Since this would technically still be the internet, no one would be lost in translation because it would provide instant boxes or services for people of different nationalities meeting and conversing with each other. Weapons of any kind other than virtual ones would disintegrate if they passed through any of the teleport gates.

While this idea does seem impossible, just think how far we as a species have come over the centuries. 100 years ago, people thought the Titanic was unsinkable, travel would take days rather than minutes, and clothes actually covered 95 percent of a woman's and man's body. And with how rapidly technology seems to advance each year, I seriously believe that with enough research and development, the human species could one day explore the intricacies of the internet while walking over tubes of data streams.

I would create a job which would prepare people for the inevitable Google takeover of cyberspace.
We would teach people how to cover their tracks completely on the internet, how to stay under the Google radar.
How to make tin foil hats, etc, etc.
Oh and how to live independently from modern conveniences such as running water, electricity, etc.
I'm not paranoid about Google
