Create jobs that you think we will work with 2057.

Use PowerPoint! Create one slide per headline and write a few sentences that answer the question: 

Job title 
What do you do? 
How hard is it? 
Do you earn a lot of money? 
Do you need to study - if yes what and for how long?

Why do you think this would be your future job? 
Explain why. Create pictures and add if you want to.

You will present your idea to me and 3 - 4 friends. 
All slides must be in English. You need to speak English when you are presenting your job. Supportive words are okay. 

Deadline: Let's decide this together! 

Inspiration: 

Job Title: Memory Curator

What do they do?

A Memory Curator helps people organise, store, and even relive their memories. Using advanced technology, they can record important life moments directly from a person’s brain and place them in a digital "memory library." Families could re-experience birthdays, holidays, or special times together in full detail.

How hard is it?

It’s a very challenging job. The curator must understand both technology and human emotions. They have to handle people’s most private memories with great care.

Do you earn a lot of money?

Yes! Since this is a highly specialised service, Memory Curators are paid very well—similar to doctors or scientists.

Do you need to study?

Definitely. You would need to study neuroscience (the brain), computer science, and psychology. Training would probably take many years.

Machine needed: Memory Recorder

This machine looks like a soft, glowing helmet that safely scans the brain and copies chosen memories. It stores them in a digital crystal that can be replayed on a screen or in virtual reality.
