Headline: A guidebook for those considering a future career in digitally-focused sectors
Review:
Tomorrow’s Jobs Today by Rafael Moscatel (with support from Abby Moscatel) aims to lift the lid on job roles of the future career market. Example career paths covered in detail include Blockchain, Artificial Intelligence and Advisory Consulting. Each area has its own chapter, allowing for an in depth study which starts with a broad history and overview, details of expected starting salary and essential qualifications (where applicable) for entry. Interviews with well-seasoned experts in the field go a long way to providing a human insight into the industries they represent, the conversational tone helps massively to bring energy into the large bodies of text.
This book is clearly trying to capitalise on a younger readership base, those that are coming toward the end of their formal education and looking to making career path decisions. With that in mind, Tomorrow’s Job’s Today would have benefitted from being punchier and quicker to the point in places. There is no imagery or diagrams in this book, content which would have massively supported some of the more complex terminology or been useful as a springboard for some of the meatier paragraphs. While a useful statistic to include, the use of a dollar currency for expected starting salaries is also restrictive to an American readership base and are as accurate as the day the book is published. I would be a little nervous of expecting the figures to be accurate in a year or two, especially given the current volatility of global inflation.
This is a good book for anyone wanting a candid insight into a specific field of interest. With full credit to the authors, some of the specific areas of interest are not as simple to explain as stacking shelves in a warehouse (for what it is worth, Blockchain is complicated!) It remains an insightful guide for those wanting to enter a market that is becoming increasingly dominated by the internet and technology. That said, the humanity students in the room, or those seeking a career in mainstream corporate roles, you might want to sit this one out.
