Jobs You Couldn't Have Ten Years Ago

Have you ever thought about the fact that there are a lot of careers out there that people are busy succeeding in which didn't even exist just one decade ago? There are also a significant number of jobs out there that only a few people had ten years ago but which are common jobs today.

Here are some jobs that fall into these categories:


  • Ebay stores. It's easy to start your own ebay store today but you couldn't do it ten years ago.

  • Blogging. How many bloggers did you know ten years ago? None. How many do you know today? Just do a "google blogs" search for your favorite topic and you'll see that there are thousands of bloggers making a living on the web.

  • Video game reviews. Yes, there were video games ten years ago and a few people worked in this field. However, with the proliferation of new game systems and the possibility of writing reviews for the web, this job has opened up considerably in the past ten years.

  • Reality TV and Internet celebrities. You don't really have to do much of anything at all to gain financial freedom these days!

The point is that a lot of new jobs have opened up in just the last ten years or so. And there's a good chance that a whole lot of new jobs are going to open up in the ten years to come. People seeking success in their careers should aim for becoming excellent at one of these new areas of business.
