Dear readers,
Let this humble writer bring you back to three decades ago. Back to the time when multi-colored swirly shirts were the "in" thing, back when drugs were sold like chocolate bars, back to the heydays of sexual revolution: contraception, gay rights and premarital sex.
Got you awake on that last one, didn't I? Unfortunately, I was kinda leading towards the popular career choice during those times, which according to a very reliable source (The Associated Press), was engineering. So, let's talk about the sexual revolution in another entry, shall we?
For you guys who've continued reading, let me try to enlighten you on why such a career trend 30 years ago. Aside from that cool "Engr." heading you get before your name, engineering (specifically mechanical engineering) was the profession of choice during that time because the 1970s marked the peak of industrial revolution. The construction of factories and massive machinery capable of mass-producing was of utmost necessity; thus, the high demand (and the relative high salary) of engineers.
Two decades after the era of sex, drugs and rock n' roll to just recently, the career trend had shifted to nursing and agribusiness. Whatever advanced, techie, medical apparati scientists have designed to better aid the people, patients seem to think that nothing beats good ol' human TLC. Agribusiness on the other hand, took a boom because of the recent biotechnological developments (plant tissue culture and GMOs).
Over the years, numerous forms of media have been developed: phone services, magazines, news ads, radio, and television; but, nothing has been more effective than the internet. The internet is your phone service, tabloid source, newspaper and entertainment center wrapped up in one convenient package. Probably the best American invention to date, the internet is the ultimate source of information.
Making a run for the "Most Popular Career Choice" nowadays is internet outsourcing. There has been a noticeable increase in the demand for advertisements and the media.You see, in the business game, the rules don't change, only the field and the players do. And the number one rule in business is the more people know about your product, the more chances of you selling it. In this generation we call the post-modern era (almost everything that needs to be invented has been invented, all scientists do now is make improvements), information is power.
