There will be three career fields in huge demand in the social media world. That is the idea Mark Schaefer presents in his blog, {grow}.
I discuss this in my post Three Skills for Living in a Social Media World at my other blog, Outrun Change.
At an individual level, I think these three careers point to skills each of us need to develop if we wish to function in a world dominated by social media. The career fields and individual skills are:
- Career field ==> individual skill:
- Journalism ==> storytelling
- HR/change management ==> adapting quickly to change as an individual
- Statistician ==> extracting value from the data surrounding us
People working in ministires are probably stronger at story-telling, which means that change management and understanding data will take more intentional work.
