"Tomorrow’s Jobs Today, 2nd Edition" is a forward-thinking guide that aims to prepare job seekers for the rapidly evolving job market. The book, authored by Rafael Moscatel and Abby Moscatel, serves as a beacon for those navigating the tumultuous waters of career planning in an age dominated by technological disruption.

The second edition of "Tomorrow’s Jobs Today" delves into the heart of what it means to build a career in the modern world. It's not just about finding a job; it's about discovering a calling amidst the digital revolution. The authors have meticulously gathered insights from thought leaders across various industries, providing readers with a treasure trove of wisdom that transcends the conventional job-seeking advice.

One of the book's strengths lies in its ability to demystify complex technologies such as Blockchain, Big Data, AgTech, the Internet of Things, Artificial Intelligence, Telematics, Health Information Technology, eDiscovery, and Cybersecurity. It doesn't just list these buzzwords; it breaks them down, explaining their relevance and the potential career paths they offer. This approach empowers readers to not only understand these technologies but also to envision how they can be a part of the innovation they bring.

The book is particularly commendable for its comprehensive directory of associations, job descriptions, and salary ranges. This practical information acts as a valuable resource for job seekers, providing a realistic overview of what to expect in various emerging fields.

However, the book is not without its limitations. Some readers may find that while it offers a broad overview of many cutting-edge careers, it lacks depth in certain areas. This brevity may leave those seeking detailed guidance on specific career choices wanting more.

In conclusion, "Tomorrow’s Jobs Today, 2nd Edition" is an essential read for anyone looking to understand the landscape of the future.

This was an inspiring and practical guide to navigating the dynamic, ever-changing world of careers. Packed with career-building tips and insights from innovative business minds, this book offers a glimpse into exciting professions in emerging fields like Blockchain, AI, and Big Data.

With valuable resources, the book equips readers with the knowledge to orient their career and land their dream job. Whether you're a student, professional, or someone curious about the future of work, this engaging and friendly read provides the necessary tools to succeed in the ever-evolving job market.

Tomorrow’s Jobs Today is a great guide for anyone looking to learn more about newer job fields and markets. The book covers a wide range of emerging job types, gives a breakdown of the field and the job details, talks with members of that field and gives all information about education and skills needed to break into the field. This would be a great jumping off point for anyone unsure about their future career and looking for guidance on new fields.

This was an interesting read about tomorrow's jobs. It included a bit of history of the industry that job may be part of and what can a person do to get that job. It is a useful book for students who are uncertain of what degree will be the best for the future or may be other people who try to get a qualification in another industry.

Technology and the work culture is changing before our eyes. If you’re venturing into the work force and/or changing jobs, this book is a must read to set yourself up for success.

"Tomorrow's Jobs Today, 2nd Edition" is a short and rudimentary introduction to many of the cutting edge careers that are available to today's new graduates. However, the book does not cover its topics deeply enough to be profoundly useful to the average job seeker or individual making career choices. Additionally, both the title and the cover are problematic to the point that they may cause confusion on the part of some readers.

At the heart of this book is a series of very short chapters that cover 15 modern cutting edge topics. Each chapter has a brief and often highly subjective if not downright inaccurate description of the field. (This reviewer can personally attest on the basis of extensive professional experience that the sections on eDiscovery and Cybersecurity are deeply deficient.) Material from interviews with practitioners from the fields is included to expand the coverage. However, the practitioners for the most part seem to be executives and thus much of their recent experience is not likely to be specifically relevant to individuals trying to enter a field. In any case, the content is fairly insubstantial, so although this book might do well on a shelf in a career resource center it should not be relied on as primary source of information.

The title is also likely to confuse readers since it implies that the book is about future careers that are currently being developed. As a note of clarification, all of the fields and careers mentioned do currently exist and some of them, such as Librarian Science and Record Management have done so for many years. To be clear the fields that are covered are on the cutting edge and are expanding and changing. However, anyone who is interested in exploring the possibility of working as an Aquatic Bio-Fuels Engineer or a Cube-Sat Grid Operations Controller is not going to find anything useful in this book.

As for the title, although charming and effective, the depiction of a hot air balloon with multi-colored fabric panels is highly reminiscent of the covers used by the highly popular and well regarded "What Color Is Your Parachute?" books published by Ten Speed Press. Needless to say there does not seem to be anything more than a cursory and superficial relationship between these books.

All in all, once the reader gets beyond the confusion caused by the title and cover this is not a bad book. It is just not enough of a book. However, it should do as a reasonable and very quick introduction to current career options prior to a deep dive in the O*NET Resource Center or some other similar resource.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher, JIA Publishing Group , for making a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.

I read this book partly because I have a fascination with where technology is taking us and partly because when I came across it I was considering a career move and weighing up the pros and cons of some different growth areas.

The book is well written, if quite short, and the author has managed to interview some very highly placed people in industry.

I enjoyed the first chapter, on blockchain, which I felt gave a good understanding of the area and how it is not just for cryptocurrency, significant though that is, as showed how it can be used for great good. As with the other chapters it ends with some basic prerequisites and an idea of some key roles and suggested salary expectations (for the US).

It was useful to get a quick feel for different jobs (some of the chapters are really only a few pages) but when I got to the cyber security chapter I felt it didn't seem at all like the kind of work I have done in my current job or any other roles I know about. Although well respected people in industry may have a lot of experience and have a view where things are going, that won't always give you a great feel for all the jobs listed at the chapter end and it made me question whether the other chapters related to areas I know less well gave a good indication of what its like to work in those fields. I think it's very hard to cover even the current goings on in AI in a short chapter let alone future possibilities.

Overall, a useful book I think to dip into to get a rough feel for some areas of interest and then do some more research. I'd be surprised if you could find many people who would be interested in every sector covered, but that's probably an issue with this sort of book generally. I am currently doing some cyber security related work and trying to move into a job in AI (machine learning more specifically). I'm certainly going to be looking at AI a lot more and the blockchain chapter has also inspired me to find out more there.
