Your future job

In a creative writing challenge, a business magazine invites students to imagine what a workplace in the future will look like.

Write a text about a job of your choice and include at least four of the following aspects:

• What technology will you use?

• What does a typical day at work look like?

• What skills are essential for your job?

• What makes your job attractive?

• What role does free time play?

Please note: The solutions presented here are just one possible way to approach the task. There are often multiple valid methods and perspectives, and alternative approaches may be equally effective.

The story behind this picture

Staying young and fit is one of the most important things you can do for your body. That is exactly why John bought his grandfather Mike a smartphone – and some new sports clothes.

They are in John’s bright living room, which has slowly turned into their little training studio. Before this moment, Mike had been feeling lonely and a bit left behind by modern technology. John noticed this and decided to help him reconnect with both his body and the digital world.

Now they train together every single day. First, they do a twenty-minute workout, laughing whenever one of them loses balance. Then Mike spends another twenty minutes practising how to use his new phone, proudly sending his first messages and photos.

Both feel closer than ever. In the future, they plan to join a local sports group and maybe even record short fitness videos together to inspire other families.

My future job

In the future, I hope to work as a virtual-reality architect, designing digital spaces for education, entertainment and therapy.

Every day, I will use advanced holographic screens, AI-assisted 3D modelling tools and gloves that let me “feel’’ the structures I create.

A typical day will begin with a meeting in a shared virtual office, where my international team and I walk through our newest designs as if they were already real.

Together, we will discuss further possible improvements.

To succeed in this job, strong creativity, technical skills and the ability to collaborate across cultures will be essential.

What makes the job truly attractive is the mixture of imagination and innovation: I can build worlds that help people learn, relax or escape stress.

Free time will also play an important role. To stay inspired, I will travel, read and explore nature as these are activities that give me new ideas for the virtual worlds I create.
