GREAT CAREER FIELDS FOR THE FUTURE.
There are a good number of great career fields for the future, those careers to watch out for that are likely to be the highest paying professions in years to come.
THE GUIDING LIGHT, HEROES AND LEGENDS.
At the ending of the 18th century, there was a boom in Europe and the United States, before the mid 19th century, it had spread all over the world, this boom is known as the industrial revolution.
The Industrial Revolution transformed from the old manufacturing processes like hand production methods to new manufacturing processes like machines. This revolution gave rise to others of its kind, like the technological revolution and the artistic revolution.
However, the main question is, would there have been a revolution without heroes, legends, and people that laid a pathway, a guiding light to a better world?
INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION
Have you ever imagined a world without machines or devices, a world with no source of technology? I can presume your answer to be no but guess what? This has only become possible because people like us had the desire to make the world a better place and they were born at the right time.
James D Rockefeller
John Davison Rockefeller was born on July 8, 1839, and is known to be the wealthiest American of all time. He ran a business in oil refining and successfully founded the Standard Oil Company, Rockefeller gained enormous influence over the railroad industry which transported his oil around the country.
Andrew Carnegie
Andrew Carnegie was born on November 25th 1834, he is known to be one of the richest Americans in history, he led the expansion of the American steel industry.
One cannot talk about the industrial revolution without mentioning the likes of James D Rockefeller and Andrew Carnegie as they were part of the prominent revolutionist of the period.
They were born between the year 1834 and 1839, and they grew during the period where there was greater economic progress through the use of railways, cheaper steel, and the increased use of steam engines.
Before this period there was limited use of steam engines as it was largely water-powered machines that were in use, but between the years of 1867 and 1914, there was a built out of railroads, large-scale iron and steel production which led to the use of steam engines, this was a better and a faster method for industries than the water-powered machines which could only be located near water.
Although John D Rockefeller and Andrew Carnegie were both born into a poor home, they took advantage of the time in which there were born and got involved in the development of steam engines which contributed to the Economic, Technological and Social advancement of the society.
TECHNOLOGICAL REVOLUTION
Following the rise of the Industrial Revolution is the technological revolution which resulted in an accelerated technological and digital advancement.
After the invention of devices and systems, technological geniuses who were born into this era like the likes of Steve Jobs, Bill Joy, Bill gate amongst others, transformed society with their digital skills which led to rapid growth in productivity.
Steve Jobs
Steve Jobs born on February 25 1955, was the chairman, CEO and co-founder of Apple Inc. He is also widely recognized as a pioneer of the personal computer revolution along with his early business partner and fellow Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak.
Bill Gate
Bill Gate born in the year October 28 1955, is the co-founder of the largest personal computer software company, a multinational technology company known as Microsoft.
They were both born in the year 1955 and were fortunate to have been schooling just when the time-sharing computers started surfacing. Time-sharing systems could multiprogram and multi-tasks, unlike the previous systems that could only do one thing at a time and made coding very cumbersome, tiring and frustrating. Steve Jobs and Bill Gates fell in love with the Time-sharing systems, as it was easy to use at the time and it helped them to get their projects done faster and better. Imagine someone before this era being a tech billionaire, it makes sense? (Nigerian Lingo for asking if something makes sense).
