Technology has been a boon for many conventional, boring careers that nobody wanted to pursue before. Not only were they monotonous and grim, but also low-paying. But, thanks to technology, these jobs are now some of the most sought-after ones in the industry. Not-necessarily tech jobs, but these have been brushed up and upgraded with technology to become more convenient, sophisticated, and of course, high-paying at the same time.
Let us give you a detailed list:
Cab drivers
No, not joking! But the cab drivers are now having the time of their lives. With GPS road mapping and all other advanced tech features, they are enjoying their jobs like anything! The efforts and stress have decreased to a considerable degree, and with the digital tools that are so abundantly available, they can now drive with ease and convenience. Not to forget, the entire trucking industry has been upgraded with amazing technologies. ELDs (Electronic Logging Devices) have made the long, strenuous journeys of the truckers way more convenient and hassle-free.
Writers
Copywriting or authoring, technology has made writing way more convenient than it was. Paper and pen and gone for a toss, and laptops and pads have taken their place. But this is just one thing. Editing and researching have become so easy too. All you need is an internet connection, and everything’s set. So, if you are a writer in the 21st century, consider yourself super lucky.
Designers
Of course, how to forget them? The ones who can now create bespoke designs with a few clicks/taps, all thanks to technology. The designing software of today is highly-upgraded and easy to use as well. With all the hard stuff taken care of by technological advancements, the designers can now commit entirely to enhancing their creativity. And it is also one of the most high-paying jobs in the industry right now. Even freelancers make a lump sum of money from their designs, sitting in the comforts of their homes.
Marketing
Well, everyone has heard the term digital marketing these days. While some users still use Search Engine Optimization and Digital Marketing interchangeably, the former is just a small portion of the big stuff. It started with SEO though, i.e., the initial online businesses wanted to rank higher on the search engine results pages and exploited the algorithms to do the same. But internet marketing has come a long way from that. Thanks to advanced technologies, it is not possible to fool Google or any other search engine these days. Digital Marketing, today, encompasses a wholesome strategy to give the users what they want on the internet and make your business visible while doing the same.
Logistics
No longer do late or untimely deliveries want to make you pull at your hair ends. Every such issue has been taken care of by a series of tracking apps, thanks to technological advancements. Further, the end receiver also gets to track the entire journey of the product, from booking to delivery, without poking the logistics company now and then. Hence, the work of the delivery personnel has also been made considerably easier.
Real estate agents
Have you heard of virtual property tours? Well, it is a reality now, all thanks to technology. Real estate agents can now show a property virtually in 3D mode to the potential buyers before they visit the property. It helps spark interest and also increases the chances of buying. Further, the usage of drones to click aerial photographs has also boosted the real estate industry to an incredible extent. Now the buyers can get a complete idea of both the interiors and exteriors of a property before they decide to finally check it out. It has made the job of real estate agents quite easier and hassle-free.
Insurance agents
Technology has indeed made the job of any agent or middleman way easier than it was before. No more running here and there, no more long nights, and of course, no extensive paperwork. Everything is digital these days, and all one has to do is make the client aware of the database of information. The rest is up to them, while the insurance agents can just sit there, resolving queries and explaining stuff to them. And for that too, they do not have to meet the person (though some still prefer the old school way) in person, thus saving their time and resources.
Teachers
Yeah, the last one to add to the list is the job of the educator. Today’s teachers are tech geeks, who love to make use of advanced technologies to make teaching, as well as studying easier. From using digital screens in classrooms to 3D models in labs, the education industry is witnessing one of its brightest evolutions, because of tech advancements. Call a teacher boring? You bet! It may be one of the most hassle-free and exciting jobs right now.
So, there are some 8 jobs that were fortunate enough to be touched by technology in recent years. If the renaissance was to happen in this century, these fields of work would have been the most affected. Jokes apart, technology has indeed made our jobs easier. But it is still highly competitive out there. So, make sure you give your best to increase your chances of pursuing a dream-like career.
