I read 5 New TechJobs And What They Pay which was posted on investopedia.com November 23, 2010 by

Although this article is two years old, it’s interesting to
see what some of these still up-and-coming jobs in the Information Technology
field are. Understanding how to program is probably one of the most beneficial
skills – not only for the traditional programming job but also for a job as a
mobile application developer. I would imagine that being a mobile application
developer is an even better job to have now than it was two years ago. My
reasoning is that mobile applications have really prospered and I believe they
will continue to prosper as computers merge into phones and tablets.
Online reputation management is a very interesting job as
well. Having a positive reputation online is key to personal branding. Some even
argue that having no online reputation at all is just as bad as having a bad
online reputation. I myself am very careful of what goes up online and I even
receive notifications from Google when my name is added to their search engine
in a new way. I would imagine that this job is very difficult, though. I’ve
spent a good amount of time myself managing my own reputation and controlling
the internet can be quite the task! A search for Ronnie Sinclair on Google
doesn’t produce any glaring issues but it does produce four results on the
front page that are from pages I’ve created.
My favorite job on this list? Online store owner. I dream of
being an entrepreneur one day and when I open up business it will certainly be
online. With the internet it’s possible to produce something of high value that
can be sold at large quantities around the world. I hope to “open up shop” at
some time next year. I’m also familiar with other website owners that
run their stores primarily online through eBay and business websites.
All in all, some of these non-typical tech jobs will be very
common within the next decade or so and it will be interesting to see how the
amount of money people make at these jobs change.
