The career choices available 20 years ago were a lot different to the career choices available today. And, they will be even more different in the next 10-20 years. As jobs evolved, so did technology.
If you asked someone in 1990 what a Cloud Architect or Chief Listening Officer did, nobody would be able to tell you because those jobs didn’t exist…yet.
